Comp entry email list 

Inclusion on the comp entry list is for CNW members in good standing. This means:

1. You have a current/paid CNW membership.
2. You agree to wear the CNW uniform (orange top and black shorts/bottoms) at all possible races (including those when an athlete doesn’t receive a comp entry) unless given an exception by the Team Manager.
3. You send a race recap/results to results.cnw@gmail.com so the club can publish results of our competitive runners.
4. Anyone receiving a comp entry must complete at least one social media post within 72 hours of receiving the comp or within 24 hours of completing the race. Athletes that do not complete a post may be removed from the comp list.

The comp process:

• When comps are available, emails are sent out to all athletes on the comp list with a deadline to express interest.
• Once the deadline is reached, final selections will be made. The comp entry coordinator will notify everyone who expressed interest of the outcome by email.
• Comp announcements are sent out as early as possible so that athletes can register for the race themselves if they do not get selected.
• The criteria for races varies depending on time standards from race directors. These standards will continue to be clearly communicated in the race announcement emails.
• The primary criteria for selecting comp entry recipients is one’s racing acumen. There is an age graded time adjustment for masters athletes when evaluating racing acumen.
• The secondary criteria is balancing the comp entry recipients between all eligible CNW members. Other CNW support, such as through gear packages, will be used as a final determining factor.
• Athletes should not reach out to race directors directly to inquire about comps. If there is a particular race in which you are interested and are wondering if there are comps, reach out to the comp coordinator at cnwcomps@gmail.com to inquire on your behalf. For CNW to maintain a good relationship with race directors, we kindly ask that you do not reach out to race directors if you do not receive a comp through the comp process.
• An athlete must be racing (not jogging or running substantially slower than one is capable of) to receive a comp entry. If you are planning on doing a tempo workout, please do not accept a comp entry.
• If you become injured after receiving a comp entry or cannot use the comp, please contact cnwcomps@gmail.com so that we can offer the comp entry to someone else.
