New T-Shirt Design!!
After several years of the same T-Shirt we decided to create a new one.
We asked the kids at Andover Elementary and Middle School to submit designs for a new shirt. We received over 75 entries! We selected 3 great designs from Sophia, Maura, and Wyatt. The designers at Body Covers in Laconia combined the designs into one amazing shirt.
Our 3 winners each get their new shirt and entry into the race as well as the chance to start the race.
