The Road Runner Sports class action settlement received preliminary court approval on June 13, 2025 and covers anyone in California who was enrolled into a Road Runner Sports VIP Rewards Membership at any point between July 1, 2013 and May 1, 2025 and was charged a membership renewal fee.
The court-approved website for the Road Runner settlement can be found at RoadRunnerLawsuit.com.
Road Runner settlement class members who are enrolled in a VIP Rewards Membership as of the date the deal receives final approval from the court will automatically receive a one-time $10 reduction on their next membership renewal charge, the settlement site relays. Eligible class members will also automatically receive $15 in rewards cash to be used on Road Runner purchases within six months of its deposit into their Road Runner account, the site says.
No action is required on the part of settlement class members to receive the aforementioned benefits. However, class members who are enrolled in a VIP Rewards Membership and believe they were damaged by the company’s alleged auto-renewal practices can receive an additional $10 in rewards cash by submitting a timely, valid claim form, the class action settlement website says.
Per the settlement website, class members who previously had a membership but are no longer enrolled in the program will receive a free, 12-month VIP Family Rewards Membership that will not be automatically renewed. The site adds that Road Runner will also deposit $25 in Rewards Cash into the free membership account of all class members whose membership terminated after May 25, 2017. For class members whose VIP Membership was terminated before May 26, 2017, Road Runner Sports will provide $15 in rewards cash, the website relays.
No action is required on the part of formerly enrolled settlement class members to receive these benefits.

All Road Runner Sport settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by December 14, 2025.
As part of the deal, Road Runner has also promised to alter its membership signup processes to “improve notice, transparency, and fairness in its VIP program.” In particular, Road Runner Sports has agreed to clearly disclose before enrollment or renewal all material terms of the VIP Rewards program, including price, renewal date and cancellation deadlines, among other injunctive measures.
A hearing is set for November 14, 2025 to determine whether the settlement will receive final approval from the court. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.
The Road Runner Sports class action lawsuit alleged that Road Runner automatically renewed VIP Rewards Memberships without consumers’ informed consent, and intentionally obscured the means to cancel the membership.
