Full Entries listed here
The 1st Annual Bowdoin Park Classic was basically started to help NTN potential teams get a race in on the NTN NE qualifier course. It is also the course where the NYS Federation Championships have been held since the late 1980's. Two Connectict teams, two Mass teams, and 6 New Jersey teams will join a host of NY teams on the classic, semi out and back course, that rises uphill most of the first half and crashes back down for most of the 2nd half.
