All dogs must be at least 1 year old on race day.
Human participants must be at least 13 years old and each participant may only run 1 dog at a time in the race.
Your dog must be licensed, up to date on all vaccinations, and have no health complications that would prevent them from competing. *Vet records and dog licenses will not be required at the registration/ check-in table; however, we recommend having a photo of them on your phone in case an issue arises.
All dogs MUST be kept on a leash at ALL times, including before and after the race. Please use a standard leash. No retractable leashes allowed. A harness rather than a collar is recommended!
Dogs must be comfortable, confident, and secure around other dogs and people.
You will have two chances to complete an obstacle. If you or your dog cannot complete an obstacle after your first attempt, you can go to the end of a line and try again or step to the side of the station and complete the designated penalty activity to continue. After a failed second attempt, you may move on to the next obstacle.
If after attempting an obstacle and your dog refuses, NEVER force your dog to complete it. Instead, participants can opt to complete the designated penalty activity as a time penalty.
Participants must clean up after their dogs. Waste receptacles will be located at obstacles for poop bag disposal.

*All ultra (non-50k) runners are still welcome to adjust their race distance if they desire (at any time!), staggered starts are simply to space out participant starts! Only participants who start at the prescribed time will be eligible for awards, however you can request an alternative start time if traveling with someone starting earlier.*
\r\n\r\n
Runners are also welcome to start at alternative times if necessary. We'll be there for 30 hours, so we can be flexible!
\r\n\r\n
More info:
\r\n\r\n
This is a 'chose your own adventure' style run. The race course starts at the Chesterfield Gorge Reservation, and is an out-and-back following the dirt road next to the river until Old Worthington Road where the turn-around aid station is located. The entire course is on a rolling jeep dirt road (with enough rocks to be interesting, but not enough to be technical trail running). There will be an aid station located halfway between the start/finish area (unmanned, water-only) and the turn-around aid station (manned and fully stocked). Each manned aid station will have enthusiastic volunteers and standard aid station food/drink options.
\r\n\r\n
Runners can do as much mileage as they want to within the 30-hour time limit by completing the following number of laps:
\r\n\r\n
- 2 complete laps for the 50km race (See info below on the 50k!)
\r\n\r\n
- 3 complete laps plus a shorter out-and-back for the 50 mile race
\r\n\r\n
- 4 complete laps for the 100km race
\r\n\r\n
- 6 complete laps plus a shorter out-and-back for the 100 mile race
\r\n\r\n
(Runners may chose to stop and get credit for any full lap completed.)
\r\n\r\n
25k runners have 4 hours to do 1 full lap of the race (and can request an earlier start if they think they'll need more time...we'll already be there!).
\r\n\r\n
As always, ultrarunners will start on Saturday, and 25k runners will start on Sunday.
\r\n\r\n
As is tradition, we are intentionally keeping things low-key...this is about enjoying some miles in a beautiful location, not about awards, giant buckles, or festivities. There will, of course, be a small give-away and something special for 100 mile finishers, but don't expect anything fancy. There may be small unanticipated changes between now and the race date.
\r\n\r\n
Further race information and details are found here.
\r\n\r\n
Registration Details:
\r\n\r\n
Since the Chesterfield Gorge Ultra & 25k is a nonprofit fundraising event (that supports the Hilltown Land Trust), registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable due to registrants' inability to participate or in the event of cancellation due to circumstances beyond the control of race organizers. We thank you for your anticipated understanding and support.
I was ten years old when my dad was first diagnosed with tonsil cancer. Fortunately for us, his cancer was treatable and we were able to catch it before it spread too far. Although, as a ten year old whenever you hear the word, “cancer”, the next word you think of is “death”. It’s scary to have your dad, or family member, have cancer and go through treatment. Most people know someone who has had cancer so this disease affects everyone. My goal with this race is to help raise money to help find a cure for cancer. All the money raised from this event will go to the Baystate Health Foundation to support the D’Amour Cancer Center who helped my dad and many other families. ---Maddie Skillin (age 12)

The Nash Dash is BACK! In May 2022, the Nash family of East Longmeadow, Ma, received the devastating news that Jon, 38 years old at the time, had a tumor in his brain that was later diagnosed as glioblastoma. With his wife Beth, his three children, Jack, Emma, and Conor, and family and friends by his side, he has endured several rounds of treatment, countless trips to Boston, and learning to accept this disease as part of his new normal. Beth being his biggest cheerleader always by his side, while maintaining as much normalcy as possible for a happy home for their children.
\r\n
With the one year anniversary of this life changing news approaching, we want to focus on the small victories and celebrate Jon continuing to fight this fight! Throughout this year, despite the challenges, Jon has been able to watch his children continue to grow; little Conor coming up on age 2 and loving snuggling with daddy, Jack taking off with his basketball skills, and Emma thriving in first grade always with a smile on her face and a dance move in tow. Jon has been on dates with Beth, been back to work, watched some ball games, had his toes in the sand, and shared endless laughs with the people who love him. So this year, we ask you to join us in CELEBRATING Jon and the Nash family for fighting this fight with admirable strength and positivity, as we continue to support them during this battle.

I have come to define my teaching style as playful empowerment. In my class, you will be challenged to find your edge and you can expect to have fun while doing it."

About Scott: Scott Godon-Decoteau died young, but he lived more during his 41 years than most people do in a lifetime. Scott sought out new experiences. He pushed people to be their best and helped them get through tough situations. Scott supported and inspired people to pursue their dreams. He sought to make change in the face of injustice. Scott somehow made the best of times better with his fun-loving attitude. He even helped us get to know ourselves a little more. #LIVELIKESCOTT #LOVELIKESCOTT

The William J. Boyle Scholarship is awarded to a student from Roger L. Putnam Vocational-Technical Academy who will be attending Springfield Technical Community College.
\r\n
The WJB Scholarship was established in 2019 in honor of the late Judge William J. Boyle, who passed away after a difficult yet heroic battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease" or ALS.
\r\n
Billy was a proud Springfield native and graduate of both Putnam (salutatorian, class of 1974) and STCC (class of 1976). Raised by a widowed mother, Judge Boyle and his two brothers sought education as a means to transcend their standing.
Judge Boyle studied the printing vocation beginning his higher education at STCC. He completed additional studies at Western New England University where he obtained a Bachelors degree in Marketing and his Juris Doctorate.
In his career of more than 35 years, Judge Boyle worked as a prosecutor for the Hampden County District Attorney’s office, established a private practice, served on the Springfield City Council (including two terms as President), and presided over Springfield District Court as its First Justice.
\r\n
He said in 2017, “Even though we didn’t have money, I always wanted to go to college. And it was a big challenge because there was not scholarships and financial aid like there are today.”
\r\n
This scholarship will honor his legacy and allow a student who may be fighting those same odds have the means to succeed in higher education.
Bill was an avid runner and the road race will be full of various aspects he loved from each of his favorite races - scenic course, live music, great party!

Run Stanley Race Day Schedule:
\r\n
Registration: 8:30 am - 10:00 am at Children's Pavilion Kids' Munchkin Run: 10:30 am K9 Run/Walk (5k trail course): 11:00 am 5k Run/Walk: 11:15 am The Stroll & Roll (1-mile stroll): 11:15 am
At this festival, we're making space for our identities - as trail runners, as outdoorsy folk, as people - which need more breathing room than the traditional “male” or “female” checkboxes during race registration allow for. Here, we’re claiming All of the Above, and running with it.
The theme? To welcome EVERYONE. Specifically, we’re calling for queer and transgender runners, and their allies, to come play on the trails with us - regardless of competition or athletic level. No matter who you are, or what ‘box’ you might check, you are encouraged to participate - we’re celebrating the person, not the body, at this fest.
In the spirit of what we do at The Venture Out Project and hosted on the amazing trails at Berkshire East Mountain Resort, the AotA Trail Fest will offer a longer (25k) competitive event, a shorter (5k) Fun Run, and a Kid’s Run for the little (but mighty) ones, and for those who can't join us in person- a Virtual event. Prizes will be awarded NOT based on gendered placing (heck, we aren’t even collecting gender data when you register), but based on who predicts their finish time the closest, as well as other equally important criteria such as ‘who has the most fun out here’. At the 5k, we aren’t timing the event and there won’t be ranked results - this is a place to find your joy, push yourself (if you want!), and experience the trail with no judgment.
This race is a fundraiser for us here at The Venture Out Project and goes towards supporting our backpacking and wilderness trips for the queer and transgender community. We’re so excited to see you out there!\"
Distance: The \"predict your time\" course will be about 21k, and 5k fun run/hike (untimed) will be 5k in length. The kid's fun run will be a “choose your own adventure” with options from 1k to 3k!
The Basics: This race is a collaboration with The Venture Out Project, and is all about pushing yourself, enjoying the community and celebrating on the trails. Your entry fee will include food and a beer at the post-race festival. T-shirts are available to folks who fundraise or donate at least $100.
Check in: one hour before your race, at the West Lodge.
Location: Berkshire East Ski Resort
Entry fee includes: All 21k and 5k entries include post-race food and a beer (for those over 21).
Day-of registration is open until 9:40: 20minutes before race start. \r\nAllow enough time to walk the roughly 1-mile to the start line at the covered bridge.
\r\n\r\n
This is a point to point race (start/finish are NOT in the same location). If you wish for a backpack to be transported from Start area to Finish line, a pick up truck will be available to do so at the start. This will allow you to remove any (extra/warm, dry) clothing at the start (that you don't intend to run in) OR send other items (water bottle, food etc) from the start to the finish where you can pick them up.

Great River Challenge is a Triathlon event in the non-traditional category, being a Paddle, Run and Bike event. We have safety on land and water as well as water stations throughout the course, making sure your experience is fun, challenging and safe! The timing is run by Fast Track Timing, who use timing chips to ensure accurate segment and transition times, so you can have record of every stage of the race.
\r\n
This year we will again have a short course 11.25 miles long. Recreational kayaks 14' and under and metal/plastic canoes will be used in this race.
\r\n
Kayak/Canoe/SUP Leg 5.5 mile race up and back on the Connecticut River starting at the water-front Pavilion near the Northfield Mountain Center. The river flow is somewhat variable, but the river is very wide and free of obstacles, so the course will be easy to navigate. The start of the race will be on the water as a group, self-seeding your selves. You will head north, up river, about 2 miles to Captain Kidd’s Island, where you will round it counter-clockwise and head back towards the start. There will be buoys denoting the up and down stream lane, so please keep them on your left/port side. Just past the start line, you will head to the dock for the finish of the paddle leg. There will be helpers on the dock to help hold and carry your boat if needed.
\r\n
Short Course paddle 4 miles will turn around before Island where a buoy and boat will designate half way.
\r\n
\r\n
1st Transition From the dock, you will bring your boat up the ramp and volunteers will shuttle your boat away and you will run to your right into the transition zone across the timing pad. A special corral will be set up in this area for relay team members to continue on as well. At this point, you will leave the transition zone and head up the path into the parking lot onto Ferry Rd.
\r\n
Run The Running leg will be a 4 mile course (700ft of climbing) of mixed road and trails starting at the river and heading to the Northfield Mountain Recreational Center. From the river, the run will take you about 0.5miles from the old Ferry Crossing up along Ferry Rd, across Rt 63 to the Recreational Center. At this point, you will enter the trail system where the remainder of the course will be on packed gravel trails and single-track hiking trails. The climb will start out gradual and rolling, then becoming steeper towards the middle with 2 significant climbs. The last third of the course will be predominantly downhill towards the transition center at the Recreation Center.
\r\n
Short Course Run 2.5 mile (500ft of climbing) cutting off part of the rose ledge loop.
\r\n
2nd Transition You will enter the transition area by crossing over the mat and find your bike on the bike racks, or for relay teams, you will find your teammate in the corral and then they will then head to the rack to find their bike. From there you will run your bike across the exit mat and head out onto the Mountain Bike Course.
\r\n
Bike The Bike leg will be about 7 miles (900ft of climbing), consisting of mixed hard-pack wide trails and single track. At the start of the bike, you will head out of the fields across the access road onto some mowed grass trails for about the first half mile before entering the single-track trails. The single-track trails are in mixed woods and a gentle climb for about a mile where you will cross the power lines and enter the ski trail system, which is double lane hard packed dirt and grass for a big climb up to the access road and the water station. About 50 yards up hill you will enter the trail again for your climb to the top of Northfield Mountain, where you will then take single track trails down the mountain. There are some sharp turns to take caution and slow down, so please pay attention to the signage. About 5 miles in, there is a stretch of rolling hard packed trails to let loose before the last descent to the finish.
\r\n
Short Course Bike 4.75 miles (700ft of climbing) will not go to the top of the mountain.

WHO WE ARE:
\r\n
Many women and their children in the Springfield area go without housing on a daily basis. They have no place to call home and no place to feel safe. The lives of these mothers and their little ones are forever changed by their circumstances; their nutrition suffers putting them at risk for health concerns and their psychological health is often damaged. The voices of these families called out to us for help.
\r\n
To help meet the needs of women and children in our community, Christina’s House was established in 2012 by our President and Founder Linda Mumblo. The name Christina was chosen as it means "follower of Christ." Linda was following God's call to start this program. Because of her tenacity, motivation, and the support of our community we opened our doors in late 2014 to our first home on Madison Avenue in Springfield, Ma.
The Mentoring Matters 5K run/walk hosted by the Follow My Steps nonprofit organization aims to raise awareness for the need for mentorship in under-resourced communities.

ABOUT FOLLOW MY STEPS
\r\n
DID YOU KNOW?
\r\n
Young Adults Who Were At-Risk for Falling Off Track but Had a Mentor Are:
\r\n
55% more likely to enroll in college
130% more likely to hold leadership positions.
78% more likely to volunteer regularly
90% are interested in becoming a mentor
\r\n
Our organization is headed by strong black professional individuals with heightened attention to elevating (under-resourced) minority students and their families. We understand that there is a disproportionate representation of minorities in key decision-making positions in all facets of leadership in the current time. We aim to close that gap by providing deserving students with the opportunity for financial, mental, and professional education. By offering mentorships to scholarship recipients, we aim to grow a network of like-minded individuals who will continuously give back to their communities and others alike.
\r\n

\r\n
A Virtual 5K (or any other virtual race) is a race that you choose to complete wherever you would like. You can walk, run, or use a treadmill.

How to track your activity time and distance: - To keep track of your activity time you may use any number of ways including stop watch, gps watch, and smart phone. - To track your distance you may map out your activity before or after using: https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ or a gps watch.

Come & Join Us For The Sheriff’s Shuffle 5k Run/Walk !!!

This year, the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department continues to partner with The YWCA of Western Massachusetts!

Bill Murray was a devoted family man who dedicated 37 years of his life to the West Springfield School System. He was a passionate and caring teacher who loved children and had a deep commitment to education. His impact extended beyond his profession, touching the lives of all who knew him.

The Children's Law Project program recognizes that children suffer emotionally, mentally and event financially when their parents engage in contested court proceedings. Through this program, attorneys are appointed to represent the children involved in contested custody and visitation matters pending in Hampden County Probate and Family Court. The child is the attorney's client, and the attorney voices the child's position when parents or guardians cannot agree on what is best for the child.
\r\n
The Colonel Archer B. Battista Veterans Scholarship is used to financially assist veterans and active members of the military who are attending law school. The John F. Moriarty Scholarship and the David A. Ladizki Scholarship are awarded to Hampden & Hampshire County residents attending law school.

Ryan was a runner, varsity baseball player, and a varsity football player at Minnechaug Regional High School in Wilbraham, MA.

To honor Ryan and the amazing athlete and person he was, the RD26 Foundation was formed.
\r\n
The RD26 Foundation has been formed to honor the memory of Ryan Doyle by helping others. The goal of the foundation is to assist programs and individuals to improve and positively impact lives in Ryan’s memory. The foundation will focus on helping families with children battling cancer. The foundation will also award annual scholarships to those who demonstrate kindness, strength of character, and concern for others.

27th Annual Monson Memorial Classic Half Marathon and 5K
\r\n
The Monson Memorial Classic road race was started in 1996, shortly after the deaths of Kelly Waldron and Kathy Waldron Perry. These sisters died eight months apart from different types of cancer. Kathy suffered with melanoma, and Kelly had breast, bone, and liver cancer. They were wonderful, loving people. This race is in their memory, and past proceeds have gone to American Cancer Association of Western Mass, American Lung Association, Quaboag Valley Hospice, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year we are giving proceeds to Griffin's Friends.
\r\n
Griffin's Friends was founded in 1994 in Springfield, MA and named in honor of Griffin Kelleher, who lost his courageous battle with cancer at 14 months of age. Griffin's Friends is a nonprofit group that provides support to children who are stricken with cancer, and their families. To learn more, visit www.griffinsfriends.com

Great time to spend some time with your family before the holiday season starts.
Built in 1902, the M.N. Spear Memorial Library is a single 900 sq ft room with no running water. We love our current library and it has served us well for the past 120+ years, but we have outgrown it. Today libraries are so much more than repositories for books. Libraries offer videos and audio books, computers, museum passes, science kits, and spaces for people to meet and work together. While we have managed to meet some of these needs, the current space is woefully inadequate.
\r\n
Our Library is the heart of our community, offering programs for everyone – from story time for our youngest visitors to fitness classes for seniors – and providing opportunities for community connections for all. We need a need a bigger library for all of this, plus, we would like to wash our hands after using a bathroom.
\r\n
In 2022 we became the fortunate recipients of the one and only Massachusetts Small Library Pilot Grant, which will cover 75% of the cost of a new library. Most importantly, 83% of voters supported moving forward with the grant. We are designing our new library now and will break ground in Spring of 2024.
\r\n
The Friends of the MN Spear Memorial Library have anticipated this moment and have worked hard since 2010 to raise funds for our Town’s share of a new library. We have a goal of $550,000 by the time we break ground next spring. We now have $460,000, all raised from within our small community of just under 1,800 residents. For ten years we’ve hosted bake sales and tag sales, collected deposit recyclables and organized Giving Day appeals. We are now looking to our broader community to help us clear the last hurdle. At this time of Thanksgiving, please consider supporting us by signing on as a sponsor for our Roadtown Turkey Trot.
\r\n
On a crisp autumn morning, runners and walkers of all ages and abilities will gather at the heart of Shutesbury for an invigorating 5K road race. The course will wind through the picturesque roads, providing a scenic backdrop as participants stride towards the finish line. Whether you're an avid runner seeking a new challenge or a walking enthusiast looking for a fun activity to kickstart your Thanksgiving celebrations, the Turkey Trot promises to be an event for everyone. The Event will:
\r\n
- Feature a kids' run. - Have prizes to fill your Thanksgiving tables. - Showcase local business sponsors. - Raise funds for a new Shutesbury library. - Age group Awards winners: Male & Female: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+

Two “tracks” offered in both half and full programs – Track 1 option features an average amount of training volume (good for first time half or full marathoners or those with a history of overuse injuries), while Track 2 features a higher amount of training volume (good for uninjured runners looking for more training volume).

The Springfield Thunderbirds have announced the creation of the first-ever Thunderbirds Stair Climb on Saturday, January 27 at the MassMutual Center, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.; the Stair Climb will coincide with the Thunderbirds’ annual Hometown Heroes Night presented by M&T Bank.
\r\n
First responders who wish to participate in the Stair Climb can register for $25 (game tickets for all first responders will be available complimentary for the game after the event); those in the general public who are not first responders are also welcome to participate for a rate of $40. A portion of the registration proceeds from the Stair Climb will go to the T-Birds Foundation, with support from the American Lung Association.
\r\n
Thunderbirds ticket members may also add on the Stair Climb, if they choose to participate, for a rate of $20, by contacting their T-Birds ticket representative.
\r\n
Registrations will give participants access to the Stair Climb, one Defense zone ticket to the Thunderbirds’ game that evening against the Charlotte Checkers (puck drop is 7:05 p.m.), a voucher for a hot dog & soda, and a donation to the Thunderbirds Foundation.
\r\n
First responders participating in the Stair Climb are encouraged to do so in full uniform attire, as is the tradition at many other events of its kind. The climb route will take approximately 12-15 minutes, and will feature 1,121 arena steps.
\r\n
“The Stair Climb is an event we have always wanted to do, and we are very excited to finally make that a reality this season,” said Thunderbirds President Nathan Costa. “It is a natural fit on Hometown Heroes Night, and the scenery of doing the run in our arena at the same time as a First Responders game on the ice will make it another great addition to this most meaningful night. We hope that in the years to come this becomes a fun and competitive tradition for both first responders and the general public alike, all while contributing to great causes.”
\r\n
Participants will be given one of the following 30-minute intervals to run the course, and registrants will have the ability to choose any of the below as a preferred time slot:
\r\n
4:00 to 4:30 p.m.
4:30 to 5:00 p.m.
5:00 to 5:30 p.m.
5:30 to 6:00 p.m.
\r\n
The annual Hometown Heroes Night has been an opportunity for the Thunderbirds to recognize the contributions of all of the area's first responders. The night features in-game recognition, a vehicle parade on-ice of local area first responders, and a preliminary game featuring local police and firefighters. A full course map can be viewed below

Course Description
\r\n
\r\n
The Big Cheese 5K starts on School Street and is the first division of the Annual River Rat Parade. The cheers from the parade crowd along Main Street make the first mile an adrenaline sprint and you’ll be shocked how quickly you come up on our split caller located on the corner of Union St. & Shore Dr. The dreaded Exchange St. Hill looms ahead in Mile 2. But, don't worry. This split ends with a recovery lap around Silver Lake Park and a respite water station. Local Girl Scouts man the water station and their encouragement is just what you’ll need as you head into Mile 3 and few more hills. The last half mile of this race is a downhill jog all the way down Crescent Street and back onto Main Street where you will finish strong in front of the Athol Town Hall. Follow the voices of the finish line team and they will guide you to cold water and snacks.

A Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon finisher’s medal
About this event:
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 5th 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.
Please note that going forward there are no refunds, deferments and/or bib transfers. If the event cannot be held as planned due to COVID, inclement weather, or other unforeseen issues, you will be granted entry into a future race at no additional charge. We will honor any deferments that have already been requested. We will always honor our commitment to you, a quality race, and an experience you will remember.

\r\n \r\n About American Legion - Post 236 \r\n\r\n American Legion Post 236 is hosting this race is to raise funds to put our post back on solid financial ground. We, as veterans, have served our country proudly, and now we work to serve our community. \r\n \r\n The American Legions reaches out to not only veterans and their families in our community, but to anyone needing help. We provide a safe environment for our kids in the area on Halloween, put on a Christmas with Santa, we serve chicken and spaghetti dinners once a month and deliver to shut ins, we go to cemeteries in our town clean and repair gravestones of our veterans that have been neglected, etc. \r\n \r\n We are looking to expand our services any way we can. But need money to do so. We are also looking to bring newly discharged folks coming home from deployments a safe place to come and an organization to belong to. Many times after deployment, vets become lost and have lost their sense of purpose. \r\n \r\n The American Legion is just one program that is trying to stop soldier/veteran suicides currently at a rate of 17 a day.
Starts at the Sgt. Joshua Desforges Memorial behind Ludlow High School
Kids Race at 8:30-no registration necessary
Students and Veterans $25 Registration $30 Participants do get a shirt
The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Walk/Run Challenge is a race inspired by the life of Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges, a United States Marine that was killed in combat in Afghanistan in May 2010. Josh chased his dream to become a Marine and every day, “lived life full throttle”. This event is not an average 5K run/walk. This event is better described as a 3+ mile road and trail run, with a twist of Marine Corps inspired obstacles and challenges sure to test mettle. 100% of the proceeds of this event have gone, and will continue to go, directly into the Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Scholarship fund.
\r\n
All proceeds go to graduating Ludlow High Seniors that are pursuing their life’s passion as Josh was by becoming a United Staes Marine.. This scholarship is different as It is open to any student regardless of college. They could be going to a trade school, joining the military, starting their own business etc. The scholarship is a way of honoring Josh’s life while giving back to the community that supported us tremendously when we lost him.
The 5th Annual Run/Walk for Rick's Place, a 5K Run/1.5 Mile Walk, will take place at 9:00AM at Minnechaug Regional High School in Wilbraham, on April 27, 2024.
\r\n
· **$30 for adults, $15 for anyone 17 and under**
\r\n
Honor a loved one with a Memory Lane sign to be displayed on the course! Memory Lane signs can be purchased in the store on the website BY APRIL 3RD!
\r\n
Registration opens at 8:00AM · Run and Walk will both start at 9 AM. · Pre-register by April 15th to ensure a short-sleeve cotton shirt. · Shirt and bib pickup will be available on race day beginning at 8:00 A.M. · The 5k Run/Walk will take place rain or shine!
\r\n
All proceeds from the Run/Walk will benefit Rick’s Place.
\r\n
In 2007, Rick's Place was established as a non-profit organization to provide grief support to youth and their parents/guardians. We offer community and connection to families as they manage one of life's most difficult experiences - the death of a significant caregiver or sibling. We have free grief support programs for families on-site in Wilbraham two evenings a month. We also facilitate grief support groups in area schools and lead professional development trainings for school personnel and practitioners about the impact of grief on young people. Our grief support programs serve Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut communities.

You know what’s even more rewarding than finishing a 5K on a runway?
\r\n
Knowing that you helped change foster care for good when you cross the finish line.
\r\n
\r\n
The Runway 5K mission is to bring community together to raise funds for foster care innovation. Every dollar raised helps kids soar.
\r\n
At Treehouse, we start by building affordable housing that brings three generations together. Children thrive in an entire neighborhood dedicated to their well-being. Older adults find new purpose as "honorary grandparents.” All generations invest in each other with the support of on-site staff and programming.
\r\n
When you register for the Runway, you’re joining a community on a mission to support kids first – and a race/walk second.
\r\n
It's easy and fun to get involved. You can run – timed or for fun – walk, join virtually or volunteer. You can create a team – or fly solo – for fundraising. We’ll share tips and tools to help you succeed in raising funds and awareness to celebrate your participation and foster care innovation. Every dollar serves children, youth and families who’ve been impacted by foster care in the greater Pioneer Valley.
\r\n
Plus, this year donations go further thanks to Greenfield Savings Bank. GSB will match every dollar donated to $15,000 with their Community Challenge Grant.
\r\n
Event Location: Northampton Airport Runway Date: April 28th, 2024 Start time: 9 AM / 8 AM check-in Registration fee: $30.00

2024 Race Rules:
1. All runners are required to carry water on them during the event. Runners without water will be disqualified and asked to leave the course.
2. This is a cupless race, so bring a cup (or water bottle) to use for drinking at the start/finish and at aid stations along the course. There will not be any cups available at the race.
3. You will be placed into a wave start based on your anticipated finish. Please be honest about where you think you'll finish. And don't complain about where you're placed. You can start in a wave behind your assigned wave, but not in a wave earlier...
If you want to ensure you start in the same wave as a friend, please be sure to put the same anticipated finish as them.
4. All runners must check-in/register by 8:15am on race day.
5. All runners must reach the turn-around by 2.5 hours (~11:20am) after starting or you will be removed from the race. Runners must also reach the Summit House inbound by 3 hours (~11:50am) after starting or you will be removed from the race. This is not meant to be pejorative, but rather helps ensures the safety of all on the course and helps make the race sustainable in the future. [Note - if you anticipate struggling to finish within the time cut-offs, email the RD for consideration of an early start. This will be granted on a case-by-case basis.]
6. Anyone under the age of 18 that is hoping to register must contact the race director (at racedirector@7sisterstrailrace.com) prior to registration as well as have a parent/guardian complete the waiver form on their behalf.
7. Due to trail considerations and permitting requirements, the race is capped at 500 runners. Since race demand has continued to grow in recent years, we have a waitlist for 2024 for those who wish to register after this cap has been reached. When a spot becomes available, the first person on the waitlist will be automatically placed in the race and their credit card will be charged. If you are on the waitlist and no longer wish to race, it is your responsibility to notify the registrar to be removed from the waitlist. (*For the record, everyone on the 2023 waitlist was ultimately offered a spot if they waited…so we encourage patience!)
Please note that the event will be held rain, snow, or shine.
Registration Notes
Registrations are not transferrable or deferrable. However, runners who withdraw prior to April 19st are eligible for $40 refund so long as there is a waitlist.
Prizes will be given to:

The main purpose of this race is STILL to pay it forward and help Cancer Connection. This is one of the very few races that runs (literally!) on donation. Donation of time and many materials.

RULES & SAFETY
\r\n
All dogs must be at least 1 year old on race day.
Human participants must be at least 13 years old and each participant may only run 1 dog at a time in the race.
Your dog must be licensed, up to date on all vaccinations, and have no health complications that would prevent them from competing. *Vet records and dog licenses will not be required at the registration/ check-in table; however, we recommend having a photo of them on your phone in case an issue arises.
All dogs MUST be kept on a leash at ALL times, including before and after the race. Please use a standard leash. No retractable leashes allowed. A harness rather than a collar is recommended!
Dogs must be comfortable, confident, and secure around other dogs and people.
You will have two chances to complete an obstacle. If you or your dog cannot complete an obstacle after your first attempt, you can go to the end of a line and try again or step to the side of the station and complete the designated penalty activity to continue. After a failed second attempt, you may move on to the next obstacle.
If after attempting an obstacle and your dog refuses, NEVER force your dog to complete it. Instead, participants can opt to complete the designated penalty activity as a time penalty.
Participants must clean up after their dogs. Waste receptacles will be located at obstacles for poop bag disposal.
Join Rachel’s Table of Western Massachusetts to outrun hunger! This year’s 5K race and 1-mile fun walk helps us to race to fill the bowls of those in need! Funds go directly to programs that feed people in Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin Counties. Those programs include 760,000+ pounds of food annually donated and delivered, purchased and gleaned, and our Growing Gardens program, where we mentor and support those most directly impacted by food insecurity to grow their own culturally meaningful and desired food!!! Our goal: Nourish Western MA - one delivery, one glean, one garden at a time.
\r\n
Your participation in this race or walk, in person in Forest Park (parking in the park itself is $2, volunteers will be reimbursed) or virtually, makes the difference, truly, whether our neighbors are fed or not. Please run or walk, invite your friends, create a team, enjoy the day.
\r\n
You can also REALLY help us by peer-to-peer fundraising - asking friends and family, near and far, to support your race or walk. Help us raise funds beyond your registration by donating to RTWM! The link to create your fundraising page is on the top of this page – called “Become a Fundraiser” or you will have an option to become a fundraiser when you register. If you register to run or walk and raise $100 or above as part of your fundraising efforts, you will be refunded $25! See details below.
\r\n
Fun walk - special props if you come in a costume!
Participants are invited to bring non-perishable food. After the event, all food will be donated to one or more of Rachel’s Table's 65 agencies feeding those who are food-insecure in our Western MA community.

*All ultra (non-50k) runners are still welcome to adjust their race distance if they desire (at any time!), staggered starts are simply to space out participant starts! Only participants who start at the prescribed time will be eligible for awards, however you can request an alternative start time if traveling with someone starting earlier.*
Runners are also welcome to start at alternative times if necessary. We'll be there for 30 hours, so we can be flexible!
More info:
This is a 'chose your own adventure' style run. The race course starts at the Chesterfield Gorge Reservation, and is an out-and-back following the dirt road next to the river until Old Worthington Road where the turn-around aid station is located. The entire course is on a rolling jeep dirt road (with enough rocks to be interesting, but not enough to be technical trail running). There will be an aid station located halfway between the start/finish area (unmanned, water-only) and the turn-around aid station (manned and fully stocked). Each manned aid station will have enthusiastic volunteers and standard aid station food/drink options.
Runners can do as much mileage as they want to within the 30-hour time limit by completing the following number of laps:
- 2 complete laps for the 50km race (See info below on the 50k!)
- 3 complete laps plus a shorter out-and-back for the 50 mile race
- 4 complete laps for the 100km race
- 6 complete laps plus a shorter out-and-back for the 100 mile race
(Runners may chose to stop and get credit for any full lap completed.)
25k runners have 4 hours to do 1 full lap of the race (and can request an earlier start if they think they'll need more time...we'll already be there!).
As always, ultrarunners will start on Saturday, and 25k runners will start on Sunday.
As is tradition, we are intentionally keeping things low-key...this is about enjoying some miles in a beautiful location, not about awards, giant buckles, or festivities. There will, of course, be a small give-away and something special for 100 mile finishers, but don't expect anything fancy. There may be small unanticipated changes between now and the race date.
Further race information and details are found here.
Registration Details:
Since the Chesterfield Gorge Ultra & 25k is a nonprofit fundraising event (that supports the Hilltown Land Trust), registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable due to registrants' inability to participate or in the event of cancellation due to circumstances beyond the control of race organizers. We thank you for your anticipated understanding and support.

The Trot for Tom Road Race and Walk will be a One-time event that was established to honor the memory of Dr. Thomas Julian, who died of complications from a neurological disorder. As a scientist, Thomas believed in the crucial importance of supporting scientific research to ease suffering and to improve lives, and he made this goal his life’s work. To further his legacy, the proceeds raised will be donated to support research into better diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases, to raise awareness of the importance of supporting research, and to provide patients and their families with support, advocacy, and resources.

We invite participants to run or walk with their fastest, furriest loved one. Race and walk start time is 8:30 a.m., with a Blessing of the Animals open to all at 9:30 a.m. Race fee is $25 through September 7, 2023 ($30 after 9/7/23 and on race day.)

Great River Challenge is a Triathlon event in the non-traditional category, being a Paddle, Run and Bike event. We have safety on land and water as well as water stations throughout the course, making sure your experience is fun, challenging and safe! The timing is run by Fast Track Timing, who use timing chips to ensure accurate segment and transition times, so you can have record of every stage of the race.
\r\n
This year we will again have a short course 11.25 miles long. Recreational kayaks 14' and under and metal/plastic canoes will be used in this race.
\r\n
Kayak/Canoe/SUP Leg 5.5 mile race up and back on the Connecticut River starting at the water-front Pavilion near the Northfield Mountain Center. The river flow is somewhat variable, but the river is very wide and free of obstacles, so the course will be easy to navigate. The start of the race will be on the water as a group, self-seeding your selves. You will head north, up river, about 2 miles to Captain Kidd’s Island, where you will round it counter-clockwise and head back towards the start. There will be buoys denoting the up and down stream lane, so please keep them on your left/port side. Just past the start line, you will head to the dock for the finish of the paddle leg. There will be helpers on the dock to help hold and carry your boat if needed.
\r\n
Short Course paddle 4 miles will turn around before Island where a buoy and boat will designate half way.
\r\n
\r\n
1st Transition From the dock, you will bring your boat up the ramp and volunteers will shuttle your boat away and you will run to your right into the transition zone across the timing pad. A special corral will be set up in this area for relay team members to continue on as well. At this point, you will leave the transition zone and head up the path into the parking lot onto Ferry Rd.
\r\n
Run The Running leg will be a 4 mile course (700ft of climbing) of mixed road and trails starting at the river and heading to the Northfield Mountain Recreational Center. From the river, the run will take you about 0.5miles from the old Ferry Crossing up along Ferry Rd, across Rt 63 to the Recreational Center. At this point, you will enter the trail system where the remainder of the course will be on packed gravel trails and single-track hiking trails. The climb will start out gradual and rolling, then becoming steeper towards the middle with 2 significant climbs. The last third of the course will be predominantly downhill towards the transition center at the Recreation Center.
\r\n
Short Course Run 2.5 mile (500ft of climbing) cutting off part of the rose ledge loop.
\r\n
2nd Transition You will enter the transition area by crossing over the mat and find your bike on the bike racks, or for relay teams, you will find your teammate in the corral and then they will then head to the rack to find their bike. From there you will run your bike across the exit mat and head out onto the Mountain Bike Course.
\r\n
Bike The Bike leg will be about 7 miles (900ft of climbing), consisting of mixed hard-pack wide trails and single track. At the start of the bike, you will head out of the fields across the access road onto some mowed grass trails for about the first half mile before entering the single-track trails. The single-track trails are in mixed woods and a gentle climb for about a mile where you will cross the power lines and enter the ski trail system, which is double lane hard packed dirt and grass for a big climb up to the access road and the water station. About 50 yards up hill you will enter the trail again for your climb to the top of Northfield Mountain, where you will then take single track trails down the mountain. There are some sharp turns to take caution and slow down, so please pay attention to the signage. About 5 miles in, there is a stretch of rolling hard packed trails to let loose before the last descent to the finish.
\r\n
Short Course Bike 4.75 miles (700ft of climbing) will not go to the top of the mountain.

At this festival, we're making space for our identities - as trail runners, as outdoorsy folk, as people - which need more breathing room than the traditional “male” or “female” checkboxes during race registration allow for. Here, we’re claiming All of the Above, and running with it.
The theme? To welcome EVERYONE. Specifically, we’re calling for queer and transgender runners, and their allies, to come play on the trails with us - regardless of competition or athletic level. No matter who you are, or what ‘box’ you might check, you are encouraged to participate - we’re celebrating the person, not the body, at this fest.
In the spirit of what we do at The Venture Out Project and hosted on the amazing trails at Berkshire East Mountain Resort, the AotA Trail Fest will offer a longer (21k) competitive event, a shorter (5k) Fun Run, and a Kid’s Run for the little (but mighty) ones, and for those who can't join us in person- a Virtual event. Prizes will be awarded NOT based on gendered placing (heck, we aren’t even collecting gender data when you register), but based on who predicts their finish time the closest, as well as other equally important criteria such as ‘who has the most fun out here’. At the 5k, we aren’t timing the event and there won’t be ranked results - this is a place to find your joy, push yourself (if you want!), and experience the trail with no judgment.
This race is a fundraiser for us here at The Venture Out Project and goes towards supporting our backpacking and wilderness trips for the queer and transgender community. We’re so excited to see you out there!\"
Distance: The \"predict your time\" course will be about 21k, and 5k fun run/hike (untimed) will be 5k in length. The kid's fun run will be a “choose your own adventure” with options from 1k to 3k!
The Basics: This race is a collaboration with The Venture Out Project, and is all about pushing yourself, enjoying the community and celebrating on the trails. Your entry fee will include food and a beer at the post-race festival. T-shirts are available to folks who fundraise or donate at least $100.
Check in: one hour before your race, at the West Lodge.
Location: Berkshire East Ski Resort
Entry fee includes: All 21k and 5k entries include post-race food and a beer (for those over 21).
Location: Children's Pavilion \"A\" and Athletic Field\r\n Oct 6, 2024, 10:00 am\r\n \r\n Come Run, Stroll & Roll! Stanley Park will be hosting the 12th Annual Run Stanley. Run Stanley has grown into a fun yearly tradition for the whole family, whether they like to run, walk, roll, or bark. Join us for this all-inclusive event on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 10:00 am at Stanley Park.
This event includes the 5K trail run/walk, a 5K K9 trail run/walk, the Munchkin Run hosted by Dunkin’ Donuts, and The Stroll & Roll. The Stroll & Roll is a wheel friendly a 1-mile non-competitive walk through Stanley Park’s accessible pathways.\r\n
\r\nThe school with the most Munchkin Run participants wins the coveted “Stanley Cup School Spirit Trophy.”\r\n
\r\nThe race will help to raise funds to benefit the care and upkeep of the Frank Stanley Beveridge Wildlife Sanctuary, Stanley Park and its accessible pathways. Please join the community of runners, walkers, hikers, dog owner and nature lovers who love Stanley Park.
Join us for the 51st Annual Fall Foliage & Cider Run on Saturday, October 14, 2023!

The walk/run starts at Amherst Town Common, partly circles Amherst College campus and enters the woodlands of The Amherst College bird sanctuary, highlighted by a beautiful view over the Pelham Hills. Finally, it follows the Norwottuck Rail Trail back to the campus.
\r\n \r\n Dogs, Bring Your Well-Behaved Hoomans! \r\n\r\n Join us at Szot Park for a fun filled day with your two-legged and four-legged family and friends! \r\n \r\n * Registration opens at 8:30 am and the race starts at 10 am. Run in the timed 5K or walk the 2K - awards given out by time, age and more!\r\n \r\n * Dress up with your pup for our Howl-o-ween contest and compete for prizes!\r\n \r\n * Vendors, music, food and much more!\r\n \r\n All proceeds benefit Kane's Krusade - keeping loved dogs with their furever families.\r\n \r\n
Distance: We're changing things up - moving our base to within Mt. Tom (and removing the road at the start/finish of the course). We'll offer a short (10k) route, longer (25k) route, and a 2-person relay option on the longer route. We've also got a fun run/hike option for those who want to explore without the pressure of a timing clock!
The Basics: Your participation in this event supports Kestrel Land Trust, whose mission is to conserve, care for, and connect you to the forests, farms, and trails of the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts. For more than 50 years, Kestrel has helped conserve more than 27,000 acres of woodlands, wildlands, farmlands, and public conservation areas, and they are currently working with the City of Easthampton to expand public access to Mount Tom.

Built in 1902, the M.N. Spear Memorial Library is a single 900 sq ft room with no running water. We love our current library and it has served us well for the past 120+ years, but we have outgrown it. Today libraries are so much more than repositories for books. Libraries offer videos and audio books, computers, museum passes, science kits, and spaces for people to meet and work together. While we have managed to meet some of these needs, the current space is woefully inadequate.
\r\n
Our Library is the heart of our community, offering programs for everyone – from story time for our youngest visitors to fitness classes for seniors – and providing opportunities for community connections for all. We need a need a bigger library for all of this, plus, we would like to wash our hands after using a bathroom.
\r\n
In 2022 we became the fortunate recipients of the one and only Massachusetts Small Library Pilot Grant, which will cover 75% of the cost of a new library. Most importantly, 83% of voters supported moving forward with the grant. We are designing our new library now and will break ground in Spring of 2024.
\r\n
The Friends of the MN Spear Memorial Library have anticipated this moment and have worked hard since 2010 to raise funds for our Town’s share of a new library. We have a goal of $550,000 by the time we break ground next spring. We now have $460,000, all raised from within our small community of just under 1,800 residents. For ten years we’ve hosted bake sales and tag sales, collected deposit recyclables and organized Giving Day appeals. We are now looking to our broader community to help us clear the last hurdle. At this time of Thanksgiving, please consider supporting us by signing on as a sponsor for our Roadtown Turkey Trot.
\r\n
On a crisp autumn morning, runners and walkers of all ages and abilities will gather at the heart of Shutesbury for an invigorating 5K road race. The course will wind through the picturesque roads, providing a scenic backdrop as participants stride towards the finish line. Whether you're an avid runner seeking a new challenge or a walking enthusiast looking for a fun activity to kickstart your Thanksgiving celebrations, the Turkey Trot promises to be an event for everyone. The Event will:
\r\n
- Feature a kids' run. - Have prizes to fill your Thanksgiving tables. - Showcase local business sponsors. - Raise funds for a new Shutesbury library. - Age group Awards winners: Male & Female: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90+
Did you know the Turkey Trot is an older tradition than the Boston Marathon? Come burn off that turkey and enjoy the beautiful fall foliage along the course. Don’t forget to attend the after party which will include fall-themed children’s activities, drinks, and decor, plus live music.
