Hall of Fame 2024 Group Picture
The one area in which we differ from other group’s Hall of Fame is that we don’t really have “stats” like most other sports do. Sure, we have PRs and streaks and age group competition and awards, but we’ve never instituted some hard and fast number you had to reach to get in.
Our philosophy has always been this: You can serve the club in 2 ways, as a volunteer or as a competitor/participant.
As a volunteer, you can help out at events, help organize events, put on events, and/or become part of the club “management”, and really take on some of the responsibility of the running of the club.
As a participant/competitor, you help the club by being part of the team at club and USATF events. You can further contribute by being a top runner and scoring at these events. And you can be a leader as a team captain, organizer, etc.
And then there are those people who contribute in both ways, equally or not. We have always treated each path as an equal and valued contribution. For we know the effort involved in both and appreciate when someone goes above and beyond.
Can someone get in exclusively following one path versus the other? Yes, you need only look at our HOF roster below; it speaks to our diversity and to our real appreciation of everything people bring to the table.
If you have someone that you’d like to nominate to the GLRR Hall of Fame, please email hof-nomination@glrr.net. Please note – the committee meets each year in February to select that year’s new HOF members.
