Recapping a phenomenal 2nd Annual Hoosic River Run: Half Marathon, 5K & 1-Mile Walk on September 19th!

We welcomed a whopping 77 participants across the Half Marathon, 5K, and 1-Mile Walk across the finish line, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate the Hoosic River.

A huge thank you to all of our participants, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who helped make the event possible, especially the City of North Adams, North Adams Tourism, and MASS MoCA. A special thanks to ARE Event Productions for timing our event. Curious about your finishing time? Find it on ARE Event's webpage under the results tab.

We’d also like to give a special thank you to Dan Morgan - photographer and Nick Mantello for capturing such breathtaking photos throughout the day. We encourage you to check out their online albums of the day!

We’re excited to keep growing the Hoosic River Run and looking ahead to next year. We truly couldn’t do it without the support of our community! Interested in participating or lending a hand with next year’s event? We’ll be in touch once we have a date!

Some more snapshots of the course at our 2nd Annual Hoosic River Run, coming up on September 19th!

All distances will pass through MASS MoCA's campus alongside works by Mary Lum, James Turrell, Anselm Kiefer, and Franz West before continuing through historic Heritage State Park.

The 5K will take runners onto the beautiful berms of the South Branch of the Hoosic River and back, while the half marathon will continue over Route 2 and cross the Appalachian Trail twice. The half route will also pass by the former home where Doris Day spent time with her husband, North Adams native Marty Melcher, before taking in gorgeous views from Chenail's Farm on Pattison Road.

Want to catch these views for yourself? Register today for the 1-Mile Walk, 5K, or North Adams' first-ever half marathon and experience the route on September 19!
