Scenic roads, fresh beer, local food, a world renowned music scene and wonderfully diverse people can all be found in the Pioneer Valley. That is why we have partnered with the Fort Hill Brewery to create this race to bring all of the greatness of the valley into one place, at one event. Join us for the beer, join us for the course, join us to celebrate the valley and to be part of what makes it so great!
From the creators of the Happy Valley Half Marathon, is the annual Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Artists have helped to revive the former mill town, and the end result is eclectic and awe-inspiring. There’s lots to see and even more to do. From Mount Tom, to various parks and exhibits, to the emerging micro-brewery scene. Fort Hill Brewery began construction in 2012, right under the watchful eye of Mount Tom. Construction went on for two years at their picturesque location, before the first beer, an Oktoberfest, was released in 2014. That same month, Fort Hill Brewery opened its doors to the public, offering tastings, tours, and growlers. Now, they’ve expanded their tasting room and added on a brand new patio, equipped with a stage for live performances.

I am a back of the packer, so keep this in mind when reading this review. This race had EXCELLENT signage that makes it impossible to get lost, sweepers constantly checking up on you to make sure you are ok, and plenty of left over water/Gatorade at aid stations still there after volunteers left. The course itself was mostly through residential areas with some hills. There is also a small trail section with loose gravel. Very supportive atmosphere and charming brewery for post race activities. A few hills, but I would definitely recommend for Massachusetts.
