Only current members in good standing are eligible to receive club awards. This means that all club dues and purchase charges must be paid by January 31st of the year the award is received. This allows time for the Awards Committee to complete special custom orders before the Awards Banquet.

Our club jacket is a red micro-fiber shell with a lining and carries the club name and logo on the front. The member's name or nickname can be custom embroidered on the front. This jacket is a member benefit provided to members who fulfill the requirements of the 1000 Mile Club or the Extra Mile Club
Mileage must be verifiable from a personal running/walking log (see blank log for use here) and reported by January 15th of the following year. A form for reporting mileage and volunteer points will be provided in the December newsletter or can be downloaded here as a Word document or PDF.
Volunteer points are earned via the system laid out in the current Handbook. Members must keep track of their own points and turn them in annually before January 15th. If earning a Red Jacket for the first time, points from the previous two years may be reported.
A variety of patches are available for the Red Jacket in future years, and you can find a listing of them in the current Handbook.
Members of the 1000-MILE CLUB who complete 1000 miles or more during subsequent calendar years after earning their jacket will receive mileage chevrons that may be sewn on their jacket sleeve. Chevrons are awarded in 100-mile increments from 1000 and upward. To earn a chevron, 5 volunteer points also need to be earned during that year.
The Third Annual Scavenger Hunt begins April 1st and runs through the entire month of April! Bigger and better than ever, we will have prizes and incentives for our runners each day! The UR Police are ready to hit the streets and keep our runners honest! Some of the proceeds will be going to the Abraham House that provides end of life care, helping families in times of great need.

This friendly competition is held annually among local running clubs.
In a series of designated races throughout the season, each club’s members will compete on an age-graded basis against the other clubs. By using age grading, anyone in a club could find themselves contributing to the club’s success in any given race. There are no gender or age distinctions. The Cup is truly open to all members. The best five results by each club’s members in a race will be compared to the other clubs and points awarded on a descending basis, with six points to the best, five to second and so on down to a single point. At the end of the year, the club with the most points wins the CNY Running Clubs Cup and bragging rights for a year.
People who are members of more than one Cup club should be aware that the first club you compete for in a year is the club you will represent for the rest of the year. Team members must also be in good standing with the club by March 31st. For information, contact Tim Kane
The top 5 calculated percentages from each team (using either race at events with more than one distance) will count toward the total for each race. Calculated percentages are statistically lower as race distances increase, so any 5K percentages used will be multiplied by 0.98 to level the playing field. Incomplete teams (between 1 and 4 runners) will still count toward race points. Club points awarded at each event after totaling the race percentages are 6-5-4-3-2-1. The champion will be the team with the most points at the end of the season. A tie after the six races would be broken by comparing the total event percentage points calculated throughout the season.
