PINKHAM NOTCH, N. H. — A Colorado runner has won a race to the summit of New England’s tallest peak for a record-setting eighth time. Joseph Gray, 40, of Colorado Springs, won the Mount Washington Road Race on Saturday in a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 21 seconds.

LOS ANGELES — The way the NFL can distribute its package of out-of-market games could be decided in federal court as the result of a class-action lawsuit.
