I think this is an awesome idea! Unfortunately I have other plans that night or else I'd be there. Will this turn into an annual event perhaps?
Congrats Jon on 5th place finish in The Concord Minuteman race. Only beaten by young whippersnappers.
Thanks, Jim!
Looks like there was some serious Bay State action at the Needham race... I didn't see any names from NN, though.
Do they really think they'll get "elite" runners? Anyone committed?
Well, they are offering good prize money for both men and women:
1st - $200
2nd - $150
3rd - $100
Not sure that will be enough to attract a really strong field, but you never know -- There were certainly several runners at the New Balance meets running those kind of times.
