Club Northwest is commited to helping runners and track athletes in the Pacific Northwest. We offer several levels of sponsorship for qualifying athletes as well as an affiliation with Seattle Sports Medicine for qualified team members. To help manage our support of as many athletes as possible team rules and policies have been adopted by CNW. This page is a good starting point to review our policies.

We have a current CNW Team Roster online. The list in not all inclusive, but is a good starting point to make contacts with CNW athletes. If you are not on the Team Roster and would like to be, or your information is wrong on the team roster please contact our webmaster (chuck@runchuckit.com).

The CNW Team Policies have been broken into general categories. Follow the links below to get specific information about a category.

Team Funding

Club Northwest currently supports five levels of funding for its team athletes: International Elite, National Development, A Team, B Team, and C Team Levels. To recieve reimbursement, an athlete must fill out the Reimbursement Form, and turn it in to the team manager along with supporting receipts.

1. International Elite and National Development - To qualify for the International Elite level and athlete must make a USATF national championship team in either track or cross country. To qualify for the National Development level an athlete must qualify for a USATF championship meet in either indoor or outdoor track and field.

2. Standards: - There are standards for all Olympic track and field events, and most standard road race distances for A and B teams. There are no C team standards. 1995 team standards, listed below, are based for track and field events on the current USATF Outdoor National standards, figuring A at 2% less and B at 5% less than the applicable USATF standard. Road standards are based on the IAAF tables for points, with men's A at 890 points, men's B at 860 points, women's A at 640 points, and women's B at 590 points.

Seattle Sports Medicine Contract

CNW and Seattle Sports Medicine have a relationship that provides sports medicine services to CNW's top runners. National, A and B team members benefit from this agreement, as well as selected other team members.

CNW team members with insurance will be offered treatment with Seattle Sports Medicine accepting insurance payments as payment in full. Athletes without insurance will be charged $15 for their inital visit and $10 for followup visits. The maximum per day charge is $25 if the patient sees both the doctor and physical therapy the same day.

There is a $15 charge for all appointments missed with less than 24 hours notices. This charge must be paid before scheduling further appointments.

In order to receive treatment, CNW athletes must first complete and sign an Athletes Agreement, and return it along with a copy of what their insurance benefits are prior to making any appointments. Also, athletes must notify the receptionist when scheduling appointments that they are covered under the CNW-SSM agreement.

Uniforms and Outside Sponsorship

For the purposes of this policiy, funding is defines as all financial and travel support that the athlete is currently eligible to receive from CNW. This includes nationals travel/housing, National, A, and B team funding, and entry fees for cross country, track, and long distance running.

A - Uniforms - All CNW team members are always encouraged to wear the Club singlet at all competitions in which the participate. All funded CNW athletes are required to wear the Club singlet at all cross country and track competitions in which they participate, as well as all USATF national long distance running events, and Seattle-area road races designated by the CNW Board and/or Team Managers as "promotional events," unless the Team Manager has arranged for athletes to wear corporately-sponsored jersey for sponsorship purposes. In long distance running events at 20-kilometers or longer, funded CNW athletes may elect to wear a solid white singlet with the CNW logos screened on the front and back. Failure to comply with this policy will render the athlete ineligible for any CNW funding.

B - Promotional Events - The current list of promotional events includes: Resolution Run; Duet Run; St. Patrick's Day Dash; Vancouver Sun Run; Bloomsday; Rhody Run; Capitol City Marathon; Nordstrom's Beat the Bridge; Freemont 5k; Dad & Me; Shore Run; Race for the Cure; Firecracker 5000; Seafair; Super Jock 'n Jill Half Marathon; Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon; Jingle Bell Run.

C - Outside Sponsorship - All CNW members are always encouraged to seek additional sources of sponsorship and funding to aid in their own development as athletes. However, CNW has limited financial resources and one of CNW's primary sources of exposure is high finishes by CNW athletes wearing the Club uniform at regional events. Therefore the Board has established the following guidelines for outside sponsorship, the wearing of a Club singlet, and funding.
 

100% - Wears current CNW Orange singlet (with or without an additional sponsor logo screened on the singlet) and blue shorts or briefs.

80% - Wears a sponsor-manufactured
