Nominations submitted to the Hall of Fame Committee by October 1 of each year will be considered for induction in the following year. Self nomination is encouraged. The Hall of Fame Committee will present to the Board of Directors at the December Club Meeting a list of up to three candidates for ratification.

Nominees should meet the following minimum requirements:
• 60 years of age or older.
• Empire Runners Club member for 5 years or longer (current membership not required).

• Demonstrated longevity in an outstanding running career.

• Met or bettered in at least one certified track or road running event an age-graded performance standard of 80% ("National Class") based on the most recent age-graded standards published by the World Association of Veteran Athletes.  Verification of times and events may be requested.
