Western Massachusetts is such a great place to run. The Fall time around here boasts such beautiful colors the scenery is just breath-taking. It also encompasses a lot of races. A lot! Mostly 5Ks but there are bunches of races of all different distances… from 2 mile walks/runs to a few half marathons, maybe even a full marathon sprinkled in the mix, but not many. There are so many races this time of year with good reason… the weather, the temperatures, and the scenery is just awesome for running.
Hence, the idea… how about a SPRING Half Marathon for EVERYONE? A race for newbies as well as for seasoned runners; for those training for a tri or for a fall 26.2; for those who THINK they can run that far and for those who KNOW; for those who want to run ONE half all year; for young and old, tall and short, thin and not, barefoot or soled runners… Everybody’s Race.

Mostly flat course with some hills
This was my second ever half marathon. Race temp was good and the course was scenic. Some rolling hills towards the beginning but also some long flat stretches by farmland. MORE
