Below is the update to the 2024 course. The rest of the course will be exactly the same as it has been in previous years.
Half Marathon
Date: 4/14/24
Start Time: 10:30 am
2024 COURSE UPDATE
Fort Hill Road is currently flooded between River St and Clapp St. This is near the usual start line. Therefore we have made a slight change to the start of the course.
The typical course heads from the Fort Hill Brewery to Clapp St and then onto the bike path. Due to the flood conditions we will start in the same spot on Fort Hill Road and will make a right on the bike path before East St. The rest of the course will be exactly the same as it has been in previous years. The course is still 13.1 miles with the same elevation profile. Click here to see a map of the modified 2024 course.
We will have volunteers, course markers and day of announcements to make sure the new course is easy to follow.
If you are coming to the Fort Hill Brewery please do not come via Clapp St as you won’t be able to get to the brewery because of the flooded roads.
Get ready to take in some inspiring Pioneer Valley scenery! Our half marathon course follows quiet roads and shaded bike paths as it passes farm fields with views of Mount Tom. The course has only 472 feet of elevation gain with no long climbs. This will keep things fun and challenging for sure but if you want to PR or just a fun running experience then this is a course where you can get it! We will have aid stations stocked with water, electrolytes and positivity every two miles.
