Forest Park Runners Club 2011
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 had been some major changes by NYRR since 2008 and beyond, see Big Changes below, bottom Right.

NYRR Club Night on 3/3/11
BIG Changes for 2008 and beyond:
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 Club Team Championships:
1. Each individual on the team must have run in a scored NYRR race BEFORE the Club Team Championships.
2. Each team must have fielded a FULL team in the corresponding gender/age group in a Sept 2009 thru July 2010 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
