You earn one (1) point every time you volunteer for a GLIRC

event. If you work extended hours in connection with an event,

1.5, 2 or 3 points may be awarded at the discretion of the Volunteer

Coordinator or Race Director of that event.

Race Directors earn 4 points for their service, and Volunteer

Coordinators earn 3 points.

The total number of points earned by each individual Club

member will be calculated each August, including August of

2021. To qualify for the Volunteer Awards Program , you must

be a GLIRC member on July 15th of the year in question. You

may earn points while not yet a member, and those points will

become official if and you become a member by July 15th. Only

the Club member who earns the points is eligible to redeem them;

they cannot be transferred to a family member or another Club

member.

Volunteer levels are established based on the number of

volunteer points earned. Level 1 is equal to $25 in reward value,

with each level increasing in $25 increments as follow:

Level 1 - 4 to 7 points ($25)

Level 2 - 8 to 11 points ($50)

Level 3 - 12 to 15 points ($75)

Level 4 - 16 to 19 points ($100)

Level 5 - 20 or more points ($125)

Volunteer points are redeemable for race entries, Club clothing,

or the annual Club Dinner Dance. Most GLIRC races are the

equivalent of $25 in Volunteer points, but Brewery races, the

Greenbelt Trail Runs, Caumsett at Heckscher and the 6 Hour

Birthday Run are the equivalent of $50 in Volunteer points, and

the Triathlon and GLIRC Dinner Dance are the equivalent of $75

in Volunteer points.

Points can be redeemed according to their assigned value, e.g.

Level 2 can be redeemed for two races or the equivalent in Club

clothing.
