Join the Performance Team
To join the Performance Team, you must meet one of the qualifying standards:
Meet one of Performance Team qualification times, or
Achieve 82% or higher age-graded percentage in one race distance
Qualifying races can be either an official race on a USATF-certified course, or a track meet officiated by a USATF-certified official. International races may be certified by their equivalent governing body.
The Performance Team has two qualifying seasons per year:
Spring Season from Jan 1 - June 30
Fall Season from July 1 - Dec 31
Running a qualifying time unlocks Performance Team membership for the current season that the race takes place, plus the next two full seasons. For example, a qualifying time obtained at a race on March 15th in a given year grants Performance Team membership through June 30th of the following year.
Performance Team members are expected to race at least 3 NYRR Club Points Races per year and register as a Dashing Whippet for NYRR and USATF races.
