USATF NEW ENGLAND MOUNTAIN CIRCUIT
(from the USATF-NE Mountain Running Page)

The recently completed 2003 USATF New England Mountain Running Circuit was the 8th annual series. The circuit promotes competition in New England Mountain Running, and encourages the running community "to support the sport" by becoming a USATF member. The circuit consisted of five races , with runner's points totaled from their top four races of the five for scoring (see below). 2003 added a new event, the Northfield Mountain race, which serves as the USATF-NE Championship.

Note on the Mt.Washington Road Race: Entry is on-line only at www.gsrs.com, and closes in March which is why it is not in the circuit.
Mt.Washington is the USA Mountain Running Championship for 2004 and 2006, and the top male and female finishers will automatically qualify for the USA team tp compete at the World Mountain Cup Championship in the fall.

The 2004 Circuit will include the following races, with another doubleheader in June this year due to scheduling restrictions. (Most events take place on the same weekend each year). Entry forms will be posted when available.
