Eastern New England Trail Race Series

Twenty-four races and over two thousand participants are just a couple of the numbers that stand out as we have completed the nine month long Eastern New England Trail Race Series. Once again it demonstrates the interest in the sport and how widespread it exists throughout New England. Each year the series is contacted by race directors who wish to participate. Growth is good if not altogether welcomed by the persons who calculate the results and standings. This year that unenviable job was the responsibility of Rob MacDonald. It is an extraordinary task that Rob has handled with an expertise that is truly admirable. I am for one extremely grateful to him. For you that know him send him along a note of thanks. It is also a task that I am sure requires more than one person to keep up with. If you read this and feel you can volunteer some expertise please contact myself or Rob. We will take a breather through the holidays and then reevaluate the series and the website. My hope is that it will continue for another year. We did not award prizes to series winners this year preferring to contribute all entry fee proceeds to the causes that the races were run for. We are considering opening the website to sponsors who could support the awarding of prizes for next year. We encourage anyone with any suggestions on how to improve on the series or website to contact myself or any of the race directors involved in the series. Once again, congradulations to all who participated in the series this year and am looking forward to another year.
