Fleet Feet/Essex Racing Incentive Program

The Board of the Essex Running Club is pleased to announce a new incentive program for 2012.
Run 5 or more USATF-NJ Team Championship races and ERC will reimburse your 2013 USATF membership dues.
This incentive program is designed to increase and help promote participation in all USATF-NJ Team Championship races.

So, how does this actually work you ask!!

For the year 2012, if a *ERC member runs five (5) or more USATF-NJ Team Championship races, then ERC will pay/reimburse that member’s USATF membership dues for the following year, or in this case 2013. This is a $30 value. In order to participate a member must be a USATF and ERC member in good standing and must declare Fleet Feet/Essex (team 246) as their team affiliation. You also must run on a team to qualify.  The purpose is to help and promote team events. For example, if the team race is a woman’s only race and you are a male and run the same race you do not get credit for the race.

USATF team members must verify their age, residency and team affiliation with USATF-NJ to race on the team.
Instructions are available here: http://www.usatfnj.org/ldr/USATFNJ_Eligibility.pdf.

*This incentive does not apply if you are a ERC member but run for another club.

If you wish to participate and are not yet a USATF member, please visit www.usatf.org today to join.
