CONWAY — While the route won’t be the same as in the past, the mission will be for North Conway residents Jessica Dolan and Bobby Graustein. They will be lacing up their running shoes on Sept. 26 to participate in the 11th annual Run to Home Base. The run, which has traditionally been through Boston and culminating at home plate in historic Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, has gone from in-person to a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As you all know, the turbulence associated with the coronavirus pandemic has affected each of our lives profoundly,” the Run to Home Base website states. “Schools, colleges, and many employers are looking at remote operations going into and beyond the Fall, and there will be no fans in attendance at Fenway for the foreseeable future. Based upon guidance from city and state officials, race directors and Major League Baseball — with your safety in mind — we will conduct our 2020 Run to Home Base as a virtual race on Saturday, September 26."
