Club Races

Empire Runners Club events, except the Kenwood Footrace, are free to club members who preregister online for each event by the published deadline.  Club races and track meets are open to the general public.  For events other than the Kenwood Footrace, online registration generally opens 3 to 4 months before each event and closes 2 to 3 days before each event.  Club members who do not preregister online for club races must pay regular race day entry fees.
