Long distance running consists of many different age and skill levels as it also varies in different distances.  Many people run for different reasons, some people choose to run to get in shape for another sport or to improve their lifestyle.  Other people decide to run for the competition, to test oneself, and for the mere enjoyment of running.  The Niagara Association members come from all different ages and levels of abilities, which include up and coming youth athletes who are just starting out in the sport, high school athletes with some experiences, more seasoned collegiate athletes participating in cross country and track, post-collegiate male and female athletes making their mark after college, and the many masters level athletes competing in road racing, cross country, and track.  Look for many of our Niagara Association athletes competing in National Champions and inspiring future Olympians.

As the Men’s Long Distance Running Chair I am dedicated to improve the different aspects of running in our association such as the quality of competition at our championships and the individual performances at all levels.  I also feel it is important that our association members traveling to other regions and/or to National Championships perform at their very highest level. 

Eric Boyce,  LDR Chair
