PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. — Mount Washington race won for record eighth time by Colorado runner Joseph Gray

A Colorado runner has won a race to the summit of New England’s tallest peak for a record-setting eighth time. Forty-year-old Joseph Gray of Colorado Springs won the Mount Washington Road Race on Saturday in a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 21 seconds. He was followed by Remi Leroux of Waterloo, Quebec; and Eric Blake of West Hartford, Connecticut. Thirty-one-year-old Kayla Lampe of Sherlburne Falls, Massachusetts, finished in 1 hour, 15 minutes and 9 seconds to win the women’s division, followed by Laura Manninen of Kuitula, Florida; and Amber Ferreira of Concord, New Hampshire. With a 6,288-foot summit, Mount Washington is synonymous with challenging weather — but conditions were clear.
