Steel Rail Races

The wonderful MountainOne Steel Rail Races are growing! Like in the past, we will have an 8K and half marathon as well as a FULL MARATHON!

The Steel Rail Races are runners races, put on by runners for runners. The half marathon course is a net downhill with no uphills and only 3 turns over 13.1 miles. The Berkshire’s premier half marathon runs on the scenic Ashuwillticook Rail Trail along Cheshire Lake with views of the state’s highest peak, Mt. Greylock.

This locally owned and operated Run Specialty store located at 34 Depot Street in Downtown Pittsfield, MA puts on 25 running events each year. This annual event has drawn more than 750 runners to make the trip from Lanesboro to Adams. According to Race Director Kent Lemme, “This race started it all for us at BRC, it’s our baby and is very special to us!”

Race sponsor Berkshire Brewing Company provides the Steel Rail Pale Ale at the finish line. The post race celebration is great, with food vendors and live music, plan on sticking around and enjoying the afternoon at the Adams Visitor Center!
