PINKHAM NOTCH — Suspense over the outcome of the 2018 Northeast Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race has grown sharply as the result of two late developments. Shewarge Amare of Ethiopia, who in 2010 smashed the women’s course record in her first — and until now only — appearance in the race, plans to return to the historic Auto Road this month to try to repeat her performance of eight years ago.
Meanwhile, Joseph Gray, who has won the men’s race each of the past four years, will miss Mt. Washington this year, as he is preparing to compete instead as part of the U.S. team at the 15th WMRA Long Distance Mountain Running Championships on June 24, in Karpacz, Poland.
