CONWAY — Saturday was the perfect morning for a run — that’s exactly what 54 hardy souls did in North Conway’s Whitaker Woods when they competed in the 10th annual Whitaker Woods Snowshoe Scramble, racing 4 miles through the picturesque White Mountains.
The event, a fundraiser to benefit the MWV Ski Touring Foundation, raised over $1,000.
