Road Running

The 2021 USATF-NE Road Race Championship schedule and Grand Prix are expected to run later in the year.  
 

Uncertainties as to when states in the New England association may fully offer road races, as well travel restrictions have put the specifics for the series on hold.

The six cancelled events from 2020 will compose the 2021 series; none have set dates as of 2/1/21, and if spring events move to the fall, overall race schedules will be impacted.  
If events are cancelled and replacements can be found, the USATF long distance running chairs will make selections with input from participating clubs. 

The events expected to be part of the 2021 Grand Prix are: 

5km - BIGGSteps 5K, Needham MA, Novemeber 
10km - Lone Gull 10K, Gloucester MA, September
15km - Frank Nealon Boston Tune Up 15km, Upton MA, fall
10 Mile - NH 10 Miler, Auburn NH, August 28
Half Marathon - New Bedford (MA) Half Marathon, fall
Marathon - Vermont City Marathon, fall
It is not certain if there will be a 5 Mile championship race.


2020 GRAND PRIX

As of June 1 - THE 2020 USATF-NE GRAND PRIX IS CANCELLED
With only one event completed, two events cancelled, and uncertainty facing the remaing three races, USATF-NE has chosed to cancel the 2020 Grand Prix Series

 

The Allen Melo 10 Mile In August in Auburn NH plans to continue to serve as the  USATF-NE 10 Mile Individual championship with some novel racing and scoring possibilities

Except for the 5 Mile Championship held in February, the remaining 2020 races will be moved ahead to serve as the 2021 championships and Grand Prix events. (There will be no bidding to host those championships).   The 5 Mile will be put out for bid for 2021. 

*****

While there are hundreds of road running events each year in the USATF-NE states, among the highest quality are the seven USATF-NE championship events that compose the Grand Prix.
 
The USATF-NE Road Race Grand Prix, with races ranging in distance from 5km through the marathon, has offered association individuals and teams quality scored competition and fun club participation for over 30 years (check the series history link below).

Indivdual scoring is done for open runners and in 5 year age groups for age 40 and over.  Team scoring is in open and 10 year masters categories.  Runners completing all seven series races earn the coveted "Irorunner" designation and jacket. 
*** Teams must participate in a minimum of 3 races to be eligible for end of series prize money.
Members vote on the slate of races in November following review of bid applications submitted by interested events in the four states.

*** New women's team scoring rules for 2019 - more team scorers are needed for open women, women 40+, and 50+ in some races. (60+ remain the same),
