The Long Island Road Runners
Club was established in 1976 as the Nassau County Road
Runners Club by New York RRC Aldo Scandurra to put on
accurate, low cost races in Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, NY
to promote health and fitness. We are proud of our legacy.
We held the first women's only races on Long Island and
established 5 year age groups. Our races are all USATF LI
Sanctioned, and our courses are USATF Certified. Our races
are held with the cooperation of Nassau County. Bruce
Blakeman-Nassau County Executive and Darcy
Belyea-Commissioner of Nassau County Parks, Recreation, and
Museums. Our Mission is to give residents of the greater
Long Island area a safe and fun way to keep fit and healthy
by promoting running.
A special thanks to Glen Wolther of All Round Foods for his
generous support in supplying those amazing and delicious
treats at all our races.

LIRRC Rules of
Competition and Regulations
Long Island Road Runner Club
events are organized and directed under USA Track & Field
(“USATF”) rules and regulations. Entrants must also comply
with Nassau County Parks & Recreation and LIRRC Rules and
Regulations.
LIRRC reserves the right to change the details of the event,
including delaying, canceling, or suspending the race due to
inclement weather or other potential safety risks. Once you
have entered a race, your entry fees are non-exchangeable,
and non-refundable, under any and all circumstances, including, but
not limited to, cancellation of the event or your
participation, or change in the nature or format of the
event. Participants must retire at once from the race
if ordered to do so by event officials,
medical staff, or any governmental authority, including
firefighters and police officers.
Safety: All participants must follow the
instructions of event officials (LIRRC staff and
volunteers). For participants’ safety, no skates, strollers
(including running strollers), bicycles (any other type of
wheeled device) or animals are permitted. The reason for this
regulation is that their inclusion in races increases the
potential for injury to race participants and children, and
does not comply with USA Track & Field Rules and
Regulations. In addition, this regulation is included to
satisfy insurance requirements.
Sportsmanship: Any participant who conducts
him- or herself in an unsportsmanlike manner or who is
offensive in action or language to event officials, other
participants, volunteers, or spectators may be disqualified,
and banned from future LIRRC events.
Race Number: Your official participant race
number (bib) must be fully visible at all times and worn on
the front of your torso. The timing device is attached to
the back of your race number; in order to ensure an accurate
time, please do not fold or wrinkle the
race number or cover it with a jacket, runner belt, water
bottle, or any other item. Participants who run the
race without their number properly attached and displayed
risk not having their finish time recorded, and not being
listed in the results..
No Transfer Permitted: Race numbers are
non-transferable; you cannot give or sell your number or tag
to another person or participate with an unofficial race
number or tag. Anyone not officially registered for the
event (Bandits) is prohibited from
participating in any part of the race/event, including
starting at the back of the race and/or joining the race
while in progress. No pacing of runners via bicycle or
un-bibbed runners. This will result in the disqualification
of the runner being paced.
Course Marking/ Monitoring: LIRRC events
(except for kids’ races) are conducted on a USATF-certified
course. Participants must stay within course boundaries, as
designated by barriers, traffic cones, delineation, and/or
other markings, at all times;
must recognize and understand event signage and symbols
relating to the course, directions, and facilities; and must
follow the instructions of course marshals. If you have not
completed the entire course, do not cross the finish line or
you will risk disqualification. No participant, after
leaving the course, will be allowed to rejoin the race
either for the purpose of gaining a place or to pace or
assist another competitor. Failure to do so may result in
disqualification, and ineligibility for future LIRRC events.
Race Start/ Official Times: The race will
be started by an air horn unless otherwise noted. All
participants must be behind the starting line at the start
of the race and must follow the instructions of the race
starter. Your official (gun) finish time is recorded by the
timing system when you cross the finish line. This time
determines the order of finish and age-group award winners.
Baggage Coral: The baggage coral is for the
convenience of the runners. Any items left in the coral are
solely the responsibility of the runner. The LIRRC is not
responsible for loss or damage of any items left there.
The LIRRC reserves the right to reject any entry and to
disqualify and bar any individual from any LIRRC event. The
rejection/disqualification may be based on, but is not
limited to: violation of the aforementioned rules;
unsportsmanlike conduct; non-payment of appropriate race
fees (i.e. a non-member paying member fees); competing with
an unofficial number; competing with an official number or
chip assigned to another person; transferring or attempting
to transfer an official number or chip to, or to obtain such
number or chip from, another person; being paced during the
race by a person not entered in the race; accepting
assistance from non-race participants; crossing the finish
line without having completed the entire course; and
providing false information on the race entry form.
Individuals disqualified from a race will be removed from
the race results and may be barred from future LIRRC events.
The LIRRC reserves the right to change the details of the
race.
