PINKHAM NOTCH — The 64th Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race takes center stage on Saturday (9 a.m.), and an elite field is expected to compete. The field will also include last year’s winners, Joseph Gray, 41 of Colorado Springs, Colo., who won for a record setting eighth time, and Kayla Lampe, 32 of Shelburne Falls, Mass., who won in her first attempt at Mount Washington. Both Gray and Lampe won last year by close to two minutes each.
Gray is already considered to be one of the best American mountain runners and is undoubtedly the greatest champion in Mount Washington history. Gray won the World Mountain Running Championship in 2016 and 2019 and finished fifth in 2023. He also just won the USATF Masters 10K Championship in April in a time of 30:58. After another convincing win in 2024 by close to 2 minutes and showing no signs of slowing down, it is hard to imagine anything other than a win for Gray in 2025.
