For 2012 the club will continue the team racing incentive program. Run 3 or more New York Road Runners Club Points races and the club will reimburse your 2013 NYRR membership. Run 3 or more USATF team championship races and the club will reimburse your 2013 USATF dues. 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 and/or NYRR dues for the following year. Therefore if a member runs 3 USATF Championship team events in 2012, NJM will pay that member's 2013 USATF dues, a $30 value. If a member runs 3 NYRR Club Points Races in 2012, NJM will pay that member's 2013 NYRR dues, a $40 value. If a member runs 3 USATF Championship team events and 3 NYRR Club Points Races in 2012, NJM will pay that member's 2013 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 2012 and must declare team affiliation with North Jersey Masters. USATF team members must verify their age and residency with USATF-NJ to race for the team. Instructions are available here: http://www.usatfnj.org/ldr/USATFNJ_Eligibility.pdf . This incentive does not apply if you are a NJM member but run for another club.
