The club will provide a bus for the ING New York City Marathon on November 7, 2010. The bus will depart from the Paramus Park Mall parking lot Pole #19 at 6:30 am and take you to the starting line in Staten Island. Returning from Columbus Ave. between 84th and 85th street at 4PM. The fee for NJM members is only $15. Non members $25. For reservations call Drew Coyle at 201-944-0224 or Email bus@njmasters.com.

NJM now has an online store, complete with club branded t-shirts, singlets, long sleeve, hats, pullovers and jackets. The store is managed by RunHQ, the same company that handles the RRCA. RunHQ will handle inventory management, ordering, payment processing, shipment and customer service. Check it out: at RunHQ.com

In 2009 the NJM team racing incentive was a success. In 2010 the club will expand the program to include New York Road Runners Club Points races. This incentive is designed to increase team participation in USATF sanctioned team running and New York Road Runners Club Points races events where teams are scored. This incentive only applies to specific team races, refer to the tables below.

How the program works
In any given calendar year, if a member runs as a declared member of NJM in three or more USATF-NJ Championship team events or 3 or more NYRR Team Points races, then NJM will pay that member’s USATF or NYRR dues for the following year. Therefore if a member runs 3 USATF Championship team events in 2010, NJM will pay that member's 2011 USATF dues, a $30 value. If a member runs 3 NYRR Club Points Races in 2010, NJM will pay that member's 2011 NYRR dues, a $40 value. If a member runs 3 USATF Championship team events and 3 NYRR Club Points Races in 2010, NJM will pay that member's 2011 USATF and NYRR dues, a $70 value. Note in both cases, USATF and NYRR, the participant must already be a member of that organization for 2010 and must declare team affiliation with North Jersey Masters. This incentive does not apply if you are a NJM member but run for another club.
