The grassroots Summer Race Series has always been about community. But the latest version has stepped it up. Not only has it expanded beyond the Mount Washington Valley to embrace communities like Wolfeboro, Gorham and Berlin, but it’s also giving back even more.
This year, the series is partnering with the non-profit Be the Match and hopes to raise $10,000 for the organization that provides support to blood cancer patients.
