Team RRR

Team statistics will be posted below.

In order to help us share information, coordinate transportation and insure we field full teams at all events, we are requesting that you email one or all of the team captains to let them know that you are competing at an event.

Transportation: Each event is different and requires some advance notice in order to configure the type of transportation needed. It is in your best interest to contact the team captains in advance if you might be interested in carpooling. The transportation to most events is not paid for by the club. Please see the calendar below for transportation details to each race.

Sometimes a van is the best mode of transportation, and at three events Marathon Limo provides a van that can accomadate 14 runners. Please note that If the seats are not filled by the Wednesday before the event, the service may have to be canceled and replaced with a carpool. Money is only refunded if transportation is cancelled because of lack of participation. Money is not refunded to no shows. This service is provided at the rate of $20 per person. Contact Shelly Shrem for additional information.

Marathon Bus: $10 a seat gets you to the start. Please mail your check to Marathon Bus, P.O. Box 132, Congers NY 10920. The bus does fill up so if you intend to use this service book it as soon as possible. A return van may be provided by Marathon Limo. Contact Shelly Shrem for additional information. 

If you are joining a carpool please offer to chip in for the parking and gas expenses of the person you are riding with, five dollars is suggested. Let us know if you are willing to drive.

The race calendar below denotes the events where transportation needs are anticipated.

August - Team Championship Race

This 5 miler in Central Park is surely a show of camaraderie and talent and is well worth attending. The men's race kicks off one hour before the women's and provides the perfect opportunity to cheer on teammates during your warm-up or cool down. This highly competitive race draws all of the best runners from their respective clubs and the atmosphere is high energy. After you cross the finish line the teams celebrate on the lawn along the course. Team RRR will have a tent with refreshments for its members. The club generously subsidizes a luxury bus with a bathroom, and a $10 contribution transports you to the event in style. Please contact the Activities Director to reserve your seat on the bus. You can mail your check to: Team RRR Bus, P.O. Box 132, Congers NY 10920. This is one you don't want to miss!
