CONWAY — The annual Kennett Challenge Race returns this Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the Kennett Middle School. This fun two-mile race traditionally pits the silverbacks (the White Mountain Milers) against the young whippersnappers (Kennett High and Fryeburg Academy cross-country teams).
The Milers are providing post-race refreshments — most likely pizza. Please park near Conway Elementary and not the lot near the KMS gym.
