Team RRR
Team RRR has started a blog for race results and team information - Click to view
The Rockland Road Runners will participate for the eighth year as a competitive team in the New York Road Runners Team Championship Series in 2012.
Team RRR has had a strong presence in the NYRR races, with some excellent individual and team age group placings. Shelly Shrem and Logan Scott are the RRR team captains. Ann and John Singer are the Swifty Sixty's coordinators. Email RRR team captains.
We invite all members to participate! Any RRR runner at any level is encouraged to get involved. It is simple. When you register with NYRR for their races, just make sure you have chosen "Rockland RR - RRR" as your team.
The team RRR members who compete in the NYRR Team Championship race plus 5 other NYRR team points races will be recognized by the club. The runners who do the most races will get special recognition at the RRR Holiday dinner.
For more information please email.
We encourage Team RRR participation in all NYRR races. However, the following races are designated as the "Club Points" races. These are the races that count toward the overall NYRR team competition. A total of 11 races will be run. Nine will be counted in final scoring. (The two lowest scored races are dropped)
One 1 mile, two 5K's, one 4 mile, three 5 milers, two 10K's, two half marathons, and one marathon are on the schedule.
