Local races conducted by NEW YORK ROAD RUNNERS: http://www.nyrr.org/races/2010/calendar/january.asp National and international races: http://www.runnersworld.com Club Points Races To foster healthy competition among New York area clubs, encourage excellence in running, and help boost NYRR race participation and spectator interest, NYRR and Club Council designate 10 NYRR scored races per year as Club Points races. These 10 races vary in distance. Clubs accumulate points based on their finishing places in these races. At the end of the year, each club's point totals in 9 races of the 10-race series are added to determine the club's overall ranking for the year. The club with the most points is the winner, the club with the second-highest number of points places second, and so on. At NYRR's annual Club Night, the previous year's top clubs are honored and receive special engraved awards. Clubs can score points at club points races in eight different divisions: men's and women's open (all ages), men's and women's masters (age 40+), men's and women's veterans (age 50+), and – as of 2005 - men's and women's super veterans (age 60+). Mercury Masters holds first place ranking in the women’s veterans division for 2002, 2003, third place for 2004, and second place in the women’s super veterans (age 60+) division for 2005, 2006, 2007, first place for 2008, and third place for 2009. 2010 Club Points Races (subject to change) Sunday, March 7: Coogan’s Salsa, Blues, and Shamrocks Run 5K Saturday, April 3: Homecoming Scotland Run 10K Saturday, May 15: UAE Healthy Kidney 10K Saturday, June 12: NYRR New York Mini 10K (Club points race women only) Sunday, June 20: NYRR’s Annual Father’s Day Race Against Prostate Cancer 5M (Club points race men only) Saturday, July 17: CPC Run for Central Park 4M  Saturday, Aug. 7: NYRR Team Championships 5M (double points race) Saturday, Sept. 11: Fitness Magazine Mind, Body, Spirit games 4M Saturday, Oct. 2: Norwegian Festival Grete’s Great Gallop 13.1M  Sunday, Nov. 7: ING New York City Marathon Sunday, Dec. 5: NYRR Joe Kleinerman 10K 2009 Final Standings: 50+ Women http://www.nyrr.org/resources/clubs/50Women.htm 60+ Women http://www.nyrr.org/resources/clubs/60Women.htm NYRR Half-Marathon Series Presented by Continental Airlines (Formerly: NYRR Half-Marathon Grand Prix Series) The NYRR Half-Marathon Series follows a longstanding tradition of welcoming runners to scenic, history-rich courses in New York City's five boroughs to race the popular half-marathon (13.1-mile) distance. This 65 ½-mile running tour begins in January in Manhattan with a challenging course through Central Park, and finishes nine months later on Staten Island. In between are races in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Each race runs through unique neighborhoods that capture the special characteristics of the borough and offer glimpses of New York City's rich diversity. Every runner who completes at least four of the five races earns a commemorative patch, and those who run all five receive a certificate, a special gift, and public recognition of their achievement. 2010 Race Dates (subject to change) Sunday, Jan. 24: Manhattan Saturday, May 22: Brooklyn Saturday, July 24: Queens Sunday, Aug. 15: Bronx Sunday, Oct. 10: Staten Island
