I would not want to stop non members running in FRA registered and permitted races but perhaps a levy of, say £2, be charged to cover them. This happens in some road/trail races and a cyclocross league I have occasionally ridden in.

It might even encourage runners who do five or more races to join the FRA but still allow a casual runner to race.
We already have different race entry fees in force as shown by the difference between pre-entry and pay on the day prices so a levy to cover insurance, landowner fees or whatever would not be too much to ask.
This happens in Wales occasionally. I did a WFRA race last year where WFRA members paid £3 to enter and as a non-member I had to pay £10. They openly admitted it was to encourage membership.

It worked by the way as I am now a WFRA member...!
