CONWAY — While the route was different than in the past, the mission remained the same for North Conway residents Jessica Dolan and Bobby Graustein when they laced up their running shoes Sept. 26 to participate in the 11th annual Run to Home Base.
The event, which has traditionally been through run Boston and culminating at home plate in Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, went to a virtual format this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
