Here are the criteria for the lottery which is held each year during the annual Wamponaog Holiday party for the following years Boston Marathon race:
- Be a club member in good standing for one full year
- Dues paid for next year
- Have run a previous marathon
- Have volunteered at a club sponsored event in the past year
For 2007, we will continue with a weighted NBA style lottery. In this manner, a runner gets an entry in the lottery drawing for each club activity in which they have been involved or volunteered during the previous year. These activities include jobs such as club sponsored race support, water stations, board of director positions, etc. One marathon entry will be automatically awarded to the runner who has accumulated the most "entry" points during the calendar year the lottery is held.
People who have done more than the minimum criteria would be eligble to have more than one name in the lottery as follows:
- Old Fashioned Ten Miler race volunteer - 2 entries
- Any additional event volunteer - 1 entry
- Board member - 5 entries
- Cooridinate a club project such as the BAA water stop - 3 entries
- IronWamp - 2 entries
