CONWAY — The annual Kennett Challenge Race returns this Wednesday, Aug. 26, 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 — 17 pizzas have been ordered. Please park near Conway Elementary, not in the lot near the KMS gym.
