Bowdoin Park course update

Coach Terry Horton has been hard at work during pretty much all daylight hours, getting the Bowdoin Park course marked and ready to go for Saturday's meet.

But Terry's focus extends far beyond our humble little season-opening meet.

He is getting the park and the course(s) prepared for new college 6k and 8k courses, as SUNY New Paltz is hosting SUNYACs in late October. And, of course, he's the main course shepherd for the many high school meets that call Bowdoin Park home.

So yeah. His old green pickup truck is getting a lot of face time at Bowdoin Park. He's out there mowing, marking and measuring. As usual.

It looks like our course on Saturday will be roughly 5,300 meters in length. We will get an exact distance hammered out in the next 48 hours, and we will attempt to have every mile and perhaps every kilometer marked for our athletes and for our visiting athletes.

Friends and family: We look forward to seeing you and having you at the park. Let's hope for decent weather ...
