RULE FOR 2012 ROTY:
In 2012, ROTY teams
will consist of four
OMRR members instead
of three. The team
must complete the
same 12 races: one
marathon or longer,
one 'long distance'
(half marathon to
marathon), three
'medium distance'
(8K to half
marathon), and seven
'short distance' (1
mile to 8K). Each
team member must
contribute three of
the 12 races. This
will allow for
greater
participation and
married couples can
also form teams. The
best age-graded team
wins $25 gift cards
and two qualifying
teams win $25 gift
cards at random. Go
to the ROTY page to
join OMRR (if you're
not already a
member) and sign up
for ROTY (the ROTY
fee is $15 per
person until Feb 1).
