The USATF NE mountain series wrapped up last weekend at
Bretton Woods which hosted the North American Fell Running championships over a
7-8 mile course with 2,500’ of climb and descent.
The series was scored in a “best 6 of 8” format. In all 230 men and 111 women took part in the
series. In addition 112 runners attained “Goat” status by completing 6 or more
of the 8 races. This entitles them to a
lottery by-pass for the 2017 Mt Washington road race.
The Central Mass Striders (CMS) took home first place in the
Men’s Open, Men’s 40+, and Men’s 50+ team categories.
