Run Brooklyn 2009
To encourage team racing, and support of Brooklyn races organized by local groups and organizations,
we are announcing PPTC’s "Run Brooklyn 2009" Grand Prix.
PPTC members racing 6 scored Brooklyn races will be entered in a raffle for a $100 cash prize at the end of the year.
Rules for qualification:
- To be eligible, runners must become PPTC members before July 1, and must race only for PPTC in any races they enter.
- PPTC’s database will be the official source for tracking races. Each runner will be responsible for entering their own races.
- Any Brooklyn based races that are officially scored will qualify.
- The 6 races MUST include at least ONE race organized by PPTC.
- NYRR races held in Brooklyn will count towards qualification, but no more than one such race will be counted.
There will be 5 winners selected at random on New Year’s Day at Harry’s Handicap. In addition, all members completing
6 Brooklyn races will receive a "Run Brooklyn 2009" award.
