History: Back in 2004, Robert Feuer suggested that the club have a racing team. It sounded like a good idea, so the club racing team is now in its third year. The purpose of the team is to foster camaraderie among club members and to promote the club to non-members. Since speed is not an issue, but rather friendliness and enthusiasm, the team of ten members chosen by the president consists of a wide range of ages and talent.
Purpose of Racing Team: To foster camaraderie among Albuquerque Road Runner members and to promote awareness of the club within the local running community.
Requirements: Must be an ARR member in good standing. All levels of runners are encouraged to apply for the team. Applicants agree to participate in at least five New Mexico races during the calendar year 2007. They also agree to wear the Cool Max running singlet, t-shirt, or long-sleeved shirt with the club logo provided by the club at each of these five New Mexico races. Team members will be ambassadors for the club, so they must be polite, friendly, and willing to answer questions about the club. It is highly recommended that team members participate in one of the races at the Run for the Zoo and the Duke City Marathon.
Rewards: Each team member will receive a choice of two Cool Max shirts: running singlet, short-sleeved t-shirt, or long-sleeved t-shirt with the club logo free of charge. At the end of the year, team members are to turn in a list of the New Mexico races in which they participated as ARR team members to the team administrator. Ten applicants will be selected by the president each year. Preference will be given to those who actively participate in club activities.
Congratulations to the 2007
