Let me tell you the fundamentals of the new opportunity, the new challenge: right at the beginning the link to the registration: https://wvmc.mastersrankings.com/registration/ You can translate the page into many languages if you change on the entry page https://wvmc.mastersrankings.com/ in the first line on the far right "english" to your language.

  • Masters Newsletter – June 15, 2021
    Masters Newsletter – June 15, 2021 Message from the Masters LDR Chair, Lloyd Hansen We are witnessing the rapid and much-anticipated return to road racing in the U.S. As COVID restrictions ease, successful in-person races have been held in many parts of the country, including the Gate River Run in Jacksonville, Florida, with over 8,000 runners, and the Publix Gasparilla Distance Race Classic, with a half marathon field of 4,000. Other prominent races have announced their return, including Grandma’s Marathon race weekend in Duluth, Minnesota with an expected 9,500 participants (June 17-June 19), the AJC Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta with over 30,000 participants (July 3-4), the Boston Marathon with a field of 20,000 (October 11), and the TCS New York City Marathon with a cap of 33,000 participants (November 7). We plan to be part of this resurgence with an aggressive schedule of Masters Long Distance Running and XC Championships. 2021 Masters LDR Schedule Includes Three Spectacular Races First, the USATF Masters 12k Championships which is part of the By Hook or By Crook 12k in Sandy Hook, New Jersey on September 19. The race is along the beach on a lightning-fast course. You can also combine the race with a visit to NYC, which is only an hour away by car or ferry. Second, the 5k Masters XC event at the famed Franklin Park course in Boston. Franklin Park has been the host to hundreds of high school and collegiate championships and has been a host to the World XC Championships.
