11th Wachusett Mountain Road Race

Princeton, MA
May 24, 2003
Updated June 6 from Richard Bolt

Mountain?  Did someone say this was a mountain race?  Yes?  Then, you just know who is going to show up...CMS!  And you thought CMS stood for Central Massachusetts Striders.  Ha!  It really stands for Central Mountain Stompers.  These guys, and gals, think of Wachusett as just a little hill.  After all, this race has only one hill.  Piece of cake, eh?  

Anyway, CMS went 1-2-3 with Paul Low, Eric Morse and Richard Bolt sprinting up the little hill.  Dave Dunham and Rod Viens also cracked the top 10. Bob Johnson and Paul Hargreaves were 2-3 in the masters race.  Grey Eagle Peter Orni was tops in the swift 60s group. Stu Thurston was 3rd in the 60s group.   247 runners climbed the hill. 

From Richard Bolt:

Dear Elite Mountain Runner,

 This past weekend was the start of the 8th Annual USATF New England Mountain Running Series and the Wachusett Mountain Road Race. Wachusett is a 4.3 mile uphill mountain race (with 2 mild downhills) run on a paved access road to the summit of the mountain. The race climbs 1100' and is generally the fastest mountain race in New England (5:38 minutes per mile for male course record, 6:53 minutes per mile for female course record). 

Once again, this year's race attracted many past and current members of the Teva US Mountain Running Team (and candidates) including: 

  • Paul Low - 2002 USATF Mountain Runner of the Year 
  • Eric Morse - 2001 USATF Mountain Runner of the Year 
  • Dave Dunham - Silver medal, 1993 World Mountain Trophy 
  • Richard Bolt - US Mountain Team 1999, 2002 
  • Ben Nephew - 5th place @ 2002 US National 50k Trail Championships
  •  Suzy West - US Mountain Team 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 

As expected, Paul and Eric lead the race from the start until Paul pulled ahead for good at the 1.5 mile mark. Paul had a strong race (winning in 24:50) backed up by several excellent snowshoe results this past winter and wins at the Merrimack River Trail Race and the 7 Sisters Trail Race. Eric finished 2nd (25:03) in only his second race in 6 months. Eric recently won the Mt. Prospect Hill Climb in Lake George, NY. 

Results from other elite mountain/trail runners trying out for the 2003 Teva US Mountain Running Team: 3rd - Richard Bolt - 25:25 6th - Ben Nephew - 26:43 7th - Dave Dunham - 26:48 1st - Suzy West - 31:22 2nd - Kara Haas - 31:41 3rd - Evelyn Dong - 33:04 (17 years old - possible Junior Team candidate)

 Complete results can be found at: http://www.coolrunning.com/results/03/ma/May24_Wachus_set1.shtml 

Next up for New England mountain runners: May 31 - Mt. Kearsarge Hill Climb - Warner, NH - 8.5 miles - 2931' of climb 

June 1 - Pack Monadnock Road Race - Wilton, NH - 10 miles - 1800' of climb
