Please read this page first before filling out the application since it explains what you need to do to apply for race fee reimbursement.

In order to recognize and support our members who volunteer their time and efforts for Club activities, a Race Fee Reimbursement Program was launched in September 2008.

All the Club asks for in return is that you keep your membership current, register in the race of your choice as a member of the Club, wear Falmouth Track Club shirt or singlet at the race, and volunteer for FTC events.

Here's how it works:

1. You must be a current, paid member of the Falmouth Track Club
2. You must wear a Falmouth Track Club shirt or singlet at the race
3. For races that ask club affiliation, you must identify on the race application that you are competing as a member of the FTC
4. Reimbursement fee is capped at $100.00 per event.
5. Total reimbursement per calendar year is $200 per individual or $300 per family.
6. Reimbursement applications should be postmarked no later than 30 days after the event.
7. Reimbursement is not allowed for FTC-awarded Boston Marathon waiver recipients.

What the club will pay for:

1. Reimbursement for members completing the entire USATF NE Grand Prix Series.
2. Reimbursement for FTC-sponsored race events and for other races is a function of how much you are able to do for the Club, as follows:

For every 2 Club events you participate in, get 1 race reimbursed. Examples include volunteering to assist at FTC-sponsored races (eg CC Marathon/Half/Relay, Seagull 6, Main St Mile), Falmouth Road Race, FITFRR, annual Jones Rd clean-up, FTC race timing events, FTC course measurement events, FTC function mobilizations/demobilizations, monthly meetings, etc. In addition, anyone who serves as an FTC Race Director, Board Member or CCM Committee Member qualifies for race fee reimbursements.

Participation in weekly "Coffee O" runs or Wednesday Workouts no longer qualifies members for race fee reimbursements effective 1st January 2012.

To apply for reimbursement, please complete the application and mail it to the FTC, PO Box 699, W Falmouth, MA 02574.

If you have any questions on the program, please contact one of the Members-at-Large, currently Paul DiAngelis at pauldiangelis2003@yahoo.com or John Banner at jlewis138@gmail.com.
