For the year 2008, Front Runners New York will proudly host the International Front Runners Games.
REGISTRATION
Due to low participation from "International" Front Runners, the
International Front Runner Games is having a make-over!
On Saturday, May 24, we'll have the "International Front Runners Fun
Run" at Rutgers at 10 am with a complimentary breakfast.
On Sunday, May 25, we'll have a 5k (12 pm) and 5m (12:30 pm)
Cross-Country run at Van Cortlandt Park with a Barbecue reception at
4pm (burgers, dogs, soda and suds all with your newfound International
friends).
All for the very, very low price of $20!!!
For those of you who have already registered and paid, we will issue a
refund for all but $20. If you would like a complete refund, we will
honor that as well. Please contact Kelsey at klouie@harlemunited.org.
Additional information or questions can be directed to Club
President at MichaelABenjamin@gmail.com. Please allow 30 days for
processing as we wait on all active.com payments.
For those who have not yet registered, payment can be made at any fun
run or on the day of the event. See you all on Memorial Day Weekend!

We will offer hosted housing but unfortunately cannot guarantee it for every participant. Hosts are responsible to provide you with free housing accomodations (bed & bathroom) for the 4-day period (though it is OK to request on your application for a longer stay.) If you choose to apply for hosted housing, please do so ASAP! We will only process your application once we have received your online registration. All applicants will be notified who they will be staying with by April 30th.

The race venue will be at Van Cortlandt Park (easily accessible by the NYC subway.) All the dinners will be held at the Union Theological Seminary in the upper west side. Please note that there is no need to rent a car.
