North Jersey Masters 2010 Team Participation Incentive North Jersey Masters 2010 Team Participation Incentive
Posted: March 3, 2010

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.

For the 2010 season the following events will qualify:

Saturday Morning Group Run Saturday Morning Group Run
Posted: October 14, 2009

Saturday mornings, warm and cozy bed, pancakes and bacon sizzling on the griddle, freshly ground coffee's aromatic invitation to slowly awaken your senses or a 10 miler in bitter cold slush? Starting 8:00 A.M. on Saturday, October 17 until the days once again lengthen in spring (March 20, 2010), consider joining a group of dedicated, but low-key 8:45-10:00 minute milers for a 9-10 mile run. We start at the Ridgewood Duck Pond's parking lot near the trail head and run to Paramus where some take a bio-break at the 4.6 mile marker while others run to the 5 mile marker before heading back to the Ridgewood start. We encourage a friendly group run to the Paramus turnaround (bathroom facility available there even in the winter) and for those fleeter of foot, a faster dash back to Ridgewood. Last season we had as many as 15 runners and as few as two. Feel free to join the group, no RSVP needed, but send any questions or suggestions to Tom McCarthy and Jim Weissman.
