Bay State Running was on site for this past Saturday’s 16th annual Ocean State Invitational, sponsored by Marathon Sports and HOKA. Coming soon, we’ll have footage of all the races from the two-day meet at Goddard Memorial State Park.
For now, enjoy some great pics from the regional competition. Here we feature seven of some of our best shots. In all, we have nearly 3,000 from the two days. Click HERE for all our photo albums.
