Description

On December 3, 1995, the US Cross Country Championships were held at fabled Franklin Park.  Reuben Reina was the heavy favorite to repeat his title from the year before.  His plan was simple - stay with the leaders, unleash his signature kick and win two in a row.  Local fan favorite Brad Schlapak and Boston’s own version of Quenton Cassidy had different ideas.  Franklin Park was his domain, having raced there more than 30 times running for Narragansett Regional High School and Northeastern University.  Join us on Brad’s journey to that day in Franklin Park from his youthful aspirations to become the next “Rocky” to elite runner and master craftsman in restoring antique clocks.
