Hello Snails,
I would like to announce the start of the Snail’s Spirit Incentive Program
Purpose: to encourage more participation in Club activities. This is a Chapter competition where you are only competing against members in your own Chapter.
Points are awarded for the activities listed below. Prior to each monthly meeting, the previous month's points will be tabulated and high scorer will receive at least a $20 ASP gift card. (larger prizes may be available during certain months) At the end of the year the top ten scorers will receive special prizes with the overall winner awarded a free pair of New Balance shoes, a free membership renewal and a free entry to any 2011 Club race of their choice.
To participate: Login to
www.snailspacespirit.com and create an account. The entire program is self-service, and very self explanatory. If you don't remember to log your own activities, nobody will do it for you. Points are calculated on a monthly basis and awarded at the following Monthly meeting. For example, the runner with the most points from Jan 1st to Jan 31st will be awarded the $20 Gift Card at the February club meeting. You can enter your points for the month of January up until 5:00pm on the day of the February meeting. (that is when I will calculate the winner)
You must be a current club member in good standing to be eligible for prizes. Regular club members, Racing Team members and Running Academy Graduates are all eligible to participate and win prizes.
