1266 USATF NE members did at least one road Grand Prix race and 333 members did at least one of the Mountain series races. 105 did at least one race in each series. Another way of looking at that is: 32% of the Mountain runners did at least one USATF NE road championships race while only 8% of the road runners completed a Mountain race.
I’m the only person who did all of the races in both series. Teammate Leslie O’Dell came close with all GP’s and 7 of the 8 mountain races. Since the Mountain Series allows “best 6 of 8”, some got their “Mountain Goat” designation (which is the equivalent of “Iron-runner”) by doing 6 or 7 races. Had the series been based on all 8 races I bet the numbers would have been higher.
CMS runners put 10 in the top 28 in combined finishes, which isn’t surprising since the racing team focuses on BOTH the Grand Prix and the Mountain Series.
