Meet Hub: NH Distance Festival

Thanks to Coach Jeff Wilson and the Souhegan Track and Field community, NH has a brand new event coming this Friday. The Inaugural NH Distance Festival, which is comprised of only 1 mile and 5000 meter races begins at 5pm May 2nd at Souhegan High School. Patterned after our friends in CT from Xavier (Coach Wilson is an alum!) and Hall High Schools, the Connecticut Distance Festival has grown in popularity every year because it includes all levels of distance runners. The miles progress faster and faster each heat to the crescendo heater heats! These are followed by 5ks under the lights for the pure distance runners. And now thanks to Souhegan, we have this same opportunity in NH!

To make this event even greater, the BSR Elite Races are being held as a meet within the meet! The Elite Races have been held the past couple years bringing in the best in New England to compete in the mile distance.
