CONWAY — The Eagles and Raiders are off and running while the White Mountain Milers are still running the valley. The annual Kennett Challenge Race returned last Thursday to the Kennett Middle School with a field of 68 runners participating.
The fun two-mile race traditionally pits the silverbacks (the White Mountain Milers) against the young whippersnappers (Kennett High and Fryeburg Academy cross-country teams). Top team honors on the day went to the Milers, who won both races.
