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 11 NYRR scored races per year as Club Points races.

These 11 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 the 9 best races of the

11-race series (the 2 lowest scores for each club are automatically dropped) 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, third place for 2009, first place for 2010, and

second place for 2011.

NYRR Half-Marathon 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.

In addition:

Any member of NYRR as of January 31, 2012, who completes four of the five

NYRR Half-Marathon Series races in 2012 (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx,

Staten Island), will be eligible for guaranteed entry to the 2013 NYC Half.

(Note: If you run the Manhattan (or Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, or Staten Island)

Half-Marathon in 2012, it will count toward your 9 + 1 total for the guaranteed entry

into the 2013 ING NYC Marathon and your four half-marathons for the guaranteed

entry to the 2013 NYC Half.)
