CONWAY — It was a record-breaking Saturday in North Conway’s Whitaker Woods Saturday. Held under perfect weather, the annual Bucks for Bernie’s Kids 12-hour trail race, saw runners tally 1,527 total miles while raising roughly $3,000 to support the Kennett High track and cross-country running teams.
“It was a great day — we had perfect weather and an energetic and enthusiastic group of 60 runners,” said Terry Ballou, the race organizer. “Tim Livingston was the MC of the day, and he did an incredible job of hyping up the crowd and cheering on all the participants. Eileen and Bernie (Livingston) were there to show support and ring the cowbells, and of course my husband Chris was instrumental in setting everything up (from hooking up electric to the scoring sheets to the music).
