Please note a special incentive
to encourage members to participate
in new running disciplines.
All trail, mountain, cross-country,
indoor track and outdoor track
events will count as double
points. In other words, a 5K
race at an outdoor track event
(rather than a road race) will
be 2 points rather than 1 point.
Please ask if you are unsure
of how many points a particular
events will count for.
A new requirement for 2012 is that you must compete in 3 or more of the 7 USATF-NE Grand Prix Events. Those events are:
- February 26 - Jones 10 Mile, Amherst MA
- March 18 - New Bedford Half Marathon,
New Bedford MA
- May 19 - Bedford Rotary 12K, Bedford NH
- June 10 - Newton 10K, Newton MA
- July 28 - Carver Cranberry 5 Mile, Carver MA
- September 23 - Legacy 5K, Dedham MA
- October 28 - Cape Cod Marathon, Falmouth MA
