PINKHAM NOTCH — Mount Washington is known to be home of the world's weather. Over the weekend, nearly 900 runners got a first-hand taste of "the beast of the East," in the 60th Northeast Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race.
The race was broken up into two days due to COVID-19 precautions, but the 7.6-mile races still generated plenty of excitement.
