Rolf, I would love to hear where you see USATF New Jersey (or National) falling short. We cannot do better and meet your needs unless we know what it is that...
mytwocents about the USATF-NJ GP, and I am just spouting my opinion, not directly responding to anyone in this thread: For the competitive runners: It is...
To answer a TM question from many posts back: Mark Zamek won Midland in 1992. I believe his time was 48:15. I was injured that year and volunteering the finish...
Hello all, Last saturday my wife Kim and myself joined your group for the first time. I just wanted to say thank you for welcoming us. We are still in the...

Dear Raritan Valley Road Runners Member, It has been raining a lot. Most of my running shoes are damp. Here are some upcoming RVRR events that will keep your...
I was curious and took a look at the USATF-NJ banquet info. I see as of today it now costs $57 a person to go, regardless of whether you got an award or are...
O you triathlete you - that is less than an ironman entry fee! ... :) (BTW - award winners got a $5 discount if they pre-entered on time) ... -- Gene...
... That should be "retired triathlete turned mostly trail runner now" :-) I stopped doing Ironman races -- and tris as well -- back in 2000. Part of my...
Rolf, I invited you to tell me what your problems with USATF NJ were. I said that I would work to rectify them, if they were in fact problems. We are not a...
So I am reading an email in gmail, and I notice a link towards the right of my screen based on the email's content. It says SB man organizes hash run in ...
If you want to be technical about it, you are also getting 9 T-shirts for those 9 entry fees, since most races do that (or a hat or a mug). So subtract the...
Wasn't sure whether to reply on or off-list ... decided to go on list. Yes, I am aware that both you and Madeline are USATF-NJ volunteers, and I know Roger...
You stated that your experience with USATF NJ has been not so good, or words to that effect. That's when I asked for specifics. The only one you have given...
Hi, I'm writing an article about the end of the Midland Run and wanted to get the reaction of some runners. If someone is able to call me back today, Friday,...
I will be glad to email Joe, Ken, et al. with my comments, as I think this thread has run its course here :-) I need to collect some data, so it may take a day...
Rolf, I would urge you to take your time to put together your thoughts and us this forum to send them out. You are not the only one who has issues with USATF...
The one thing I could complain about regarding USATF concerns the time that a club member who has resided many years in this country but is not a citizen was...
Yup. I was thinking the same thing. Ironman entry fee is currently $500 and you have a pay a year in advance. I'm currently registered for 2 IMs and 1 1/2 IM...
Wow - I had no idea that IM entry fees were that high. Like may runners, I have seen race entry fees escalate over the years. Frankly, I couldn't figure out...
... Yup. Certainly turned me into a trail runner! ... Probably. They still make their money ... tons of it ... the Ironman organization is in it to make money,...
The rule to prohibit non-citizens from competing on teams at national championships was passed by the USATF National Mater’s Committee 4 or 5 years ago, not...
