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!
Fort Hill Brewery has been crafting quality lagers and ales in Easthampton, MA since 2014. The brewery came to Easthampton for its pure water because they know that better water means better beer. The brewery sits amongst a panoramic view of Mount Tom which sets the stage for unforgettable events, beer tastings, live music and of course the Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon & 5K.
We are excited to provide financial support to Easthampton High School’s Track & Field and Cross Country programs. We are supporting the launch of the school’s track club from the ground up. This includes track maintenance work, equipment and anything else that the program needs to hit the ground running (sorry for the pun).
We created the Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon because we love running and want to share that passion with you. By supporting this cause we will hopefully enable a new generation of runners to find their passion for this amazing sport. What could be better than that?

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.
