CONWAY — After a year's absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the third annual N.H. Stephen Siller 5K Tunnel to Towers Race returned to North Conway last Saturday morning, with 140 participants ranging from firefighters in full turnout gear to families wanting to support the cause.
“The response was incredible,” Vince Vaccaro, the race director of Tritek Events of West Ossipee, said Monday. “I had people walking up to me before the run, handing me cash and checks, and while they weren’t actually taking part in the event, had read about it in the Sun and wanted to donate to a good cause.”
