The USATF-NJ Team Grand Prix comprises 14 races of various distances held from March to November yearly. Each gender (female, male) and age (Open (under 40), 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s) team has nine races designated by the USATF-NJ Long Distance Committee (mid-way down the page) as team championships. RVRR competes against other running clubs from across the state in all 14 Grand Prix events. Some races are championships for all divisions, meaning all teams, while others are for teams of a specific gender or age. See the table at left. Even if the championship is not for your age or gender, you can run or spectate, which is fun as you get to see other RVRRers out running. However, team Grand Prix points are earned only in the nine races specific for each age/gender team. For example, only the Masters Men teams can score points at the Ridgewood 10k. This is confusing enough, but there is also an Individual Grand Prix competition. 

Any RVRR member can run for one of the teams, no need to be a certain pace or come to a certain number of group runs. The more the merrier! However, you need to be 1.) an RVRR member; 2.) a USATF member; and 3.) get your USATF membership verified (by sending in a scanned copy of your license to usatf@usatfnj.org) to run for the teams. After you have that done, you just sign up for any of the races at left (as you normally would), let your team captain know you will be there, show up, run, and have fun!
