LEWISBURG, Pa.- In 1776, Nassau County on Long Island was the site of intense fighting between the Patriots and the Redcoats. 250 years later, the fields are quieter with the sounds of peace. That hard-fought tranquility will be interrupted on Saturday with the annual running of the historic ECAC-IC4A Championships on Saturday at Bethpage State Park.
The Bucknell cross country squads posted a strong performance two weeks ago at the Paul Short Run and now enter the final stretch of the 2026 regular season looking to solidify the league roster. The women's race begins at noon and the men's race starts at 12:45 p.m.
When:Â Saturday, Oct. 17, Noon
Where:Â Bethpage State Park - Bethpage, N.Y.Â

Donner's Debriefing
"We always enjoy the ECAC-IC4As and have had some pretty good success over the past few years at this meet. Our runners now have 2-3 meets under their belts and the training is starting to kick in. We have never been to this course at Bethpage and we always get excited to see new courses."
