Qualifications

Only members of established and NYRR-recognized running teams may enter this race; NYRR membership by itself is not enough to qualify. In addition, entrants must have completed at least one NYRR scored/qualifying race between January 1 and July 27, 2008, for the team for which they will be scoring in the NYRR Team Championships, and they may not have competed for that team until 90 days after competing for another team.

If a participating team has not fielded a full team in their division (men’s and women’s open, 40+, 50+, 60+) at a prior NYRR team-points race since January 1, 2008, the team may not score in that division at the NYRR Team Championships.

Teams for the NYRR Team Championships are comprised of:
• Open: 10 men/5 women (scored by place)
• 40+: 5 men/3 women (scored by time)
• 50+: 3 men/3 women (scored by time)
• 60+: 3 men/3 women (scored by time)

Post Race

Awards will be given in team categories (see above). The only individual awards will be the “Nacho” award in memory of José Ignacio Ramirez, given to the first male and female masters finishers.
