The race is held each year in cel-ebration of the lives of Kyle and Tim Crisman, who died in an automobile accident in November 2002. Kyle was a member of the Souhegan High School band and varsity track team who loved working on Saabs while Tim played on the varsity lacrosse squad and loved culinary arts. A scholarship fund was established in Kyle and Tim’s memory to support scholarships each year to two Souhegan students with one awarded to a student pursuing a career in the culinary arts or restaurant management and a second scholarship awarded to a student with a passion for the automotive/business field. To date the scholarship fund has awarded more than $30,000 in scholarships to Souhegan High School students.Current and Former Amherst and Mont Vernon Residents Finishers List:
