CMS results at the USA mountain running championships

USA Mountain running championships

Loon mountain (Lincoln, NH) once again hosted the USA Mountain running championships.  The 6.6 mile course featured nearly 3,000’ of climb and approximately 600’ of descent.  The signature section of the course was the “Upper Walking Boss” a half-mile stretch that featured an average grade of 40%.

The CMS squad has done well at recent Mountain Running championships and was looking to sweep the team titles.  They came close with the Men taking home Gold in the 60+, 50+, and 40+.  The team also took Bronze in the Open (despite the youngest member of the team being 49 years old!).

Individually CMS runners picked up four age group medals.

Steve Brightman – Silver 45-49

Dave Dunham – Gold 50-54

Erik Vandendries – Bronze 50-54

Paul Bazanchuk – Silver 60-64
