FRNY’s New Award System for 2012

The FRNY awards system, revised for 2012, is designed to encourage targeted racing in a city where there are 2, 3, 4 or even more races happening on any given weekend.  It is also designed to recognize the breadth of our members’ interests and encourage the trying of new events. Finally, the new points system recognizes that volunteer efforts are essential to how FRNY continues to thrive. Races that count toward the new points system will be listed here.
