Forest Park Runners Club 2008
The Forest Park Runners Club previously voted to eliminate the the Racing Challenge in its old format. However, we are open to suggestions for a new race competition. We want you to keep racing.
In addition, each race has to be scored for the Forest Park Runners Club, that is FPRR has to be on the entry form. There have been some major changes by NYRR for 2008, see Big Changes below, bottom Right.

Join the club at Keyspan Park for an evening of minor league baseball. It's the Staten Island Yankees vs. the Cyclones. Sure to be a great time. In addition it is ladies night, and ladies who arrive early get a pink Cyclones T-shirt. See Alex to purchase tickets.
BIG Changes for 2008:
In the name of preserving the local nature of the event, the following additional restrictions were approved by popular vote for a team to score in the 2008 Club Team Championships:
1. Each individual on the team must have run in a scored 2008 NYRR race BEFORE the Club Team Championships.
2. Each team must have fielded a FULL team in the corresponding gender/age group in a 2008 points race BEFORE the Club Team Championships to score in that gender/age group in the Club Team Championships.
3. There are 12 points races, and each team scores with its best 10 of the 12 possible races unless weather cancels a race and then it would be 10 out of 11. All races are in Central Park unless marked
