In 2014, then-US Senate candidate Scott Brown, Dos Equis beer in hand, chatted with a fellow runner after finishing the Cinco de Miles 5k, a Cinco de Mayo-themed road race in Bedford, N.H. Brown quietly arranged a meeting last month between race organizers and Governor Charlie Bakerâs point people for the state's economic reopening, which helped set the stage for the announcement on Tuesday that road races and other outdoor athletic events would be back on the calendar as of May 10.Joshua Miller/Globe Staff
