The field is set, the crews are ready, and the Auto Road is fully paved for the first time ever for the 61st running of the Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race on Saturday, June 18.
After the 2020 cancellation and a modified 2021 event with COVID protocols, the race will return to a mass start and for the first time ever, it will be run on a road that is paved for the entire 7.6 miles.
