Where can you do a 10,000 meters in New England?

The window for running a 10,000 meter outdoor track race for the All-Terrain Runner Series is about to open.  Finding a 10,000 might not be as easy as you’d think.
 
I went through the Calendar of events on the USATF NE outdoor track webpage and was able to come up with the races below.  Disclaimer:  I am not stating that these are the only events with a 10,000.  Do your own research!  I limited my search to track meets in New England.
 
I did not hear back from Umass Dartmouth or Westfield State regarding the events being open to post-collegians (or having qualifying standards).  The others are all OPEN with no qualifying standards.  At this time USATF NE has not scheduled a 10,000 for the championships…contact the track chair and let him know that you would be interested!
