PINKHAM NOTCH — 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. 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. Race time is at 9 a.m. Both winners from 2021, Joe Gray and Kim Dobson, are returning, and there are a host of contenders vying to knock off the champions.
Gray, 38, of Colorado Springs, Colo., just won the Vail 10K Spring Runoff this past Sunday in convincing fashion, and seems to be in peak shape. A win Saturday would bring Gray one win from tying Bob Hodge in all time wins (currently seven) at Mt. Washington.
