Who can join Daffodil Running Community?
Anyone with a passion for running or fitness is welcome to join us! Daffodil Running Community (DRC) is open to DIU students, faculty members, alumni, administrative employees, and staff.
Beyond our campus, we also love connecting with the global running community — running enthusiasts and guest runners from outside DIU, regardless of where they're from, are warmly invited to join our open events and runs!
Is there a membership fee to join DRC?
Official DRC membership will be available for a nominal one-time fee of ৳100, exclusively for the Daffodil family (DIU students, faculty, alumni, administrative employees, and staff). This is separate from individual event registration fees, which vary by event.
Membership registration is launching soon — stay tuned! In the meantime, everyone — DIU-affiliated or not — can join our open running events right away.
