CONWAY — While it wasn’t a record-setting night in the eighth annual Millen Mile on the Livingston Oval at Gary Millen Stadium, run during halftime of the Kennett High football game against Lebanon last Friday night, spectators were treated to the closest finish in race history and a number of fine individual performances.
The race is open to residents of Conway, Bartlett, Jackson, Albany, Eaton, Tamworth, Freedom, Madison, Hart's Location, Chatham, and Fryeburg, Stow, Lovell, Brownfield, Denmark and Sweden, Maine.
