Distance: 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 5k 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 people to the forests, farms, and trails of the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts. Kestrel has helped conserve more than 32,000 acres for recreation, wildlife, food security, and a healthy planet. This race supports Kestrel’s efforts to enhance public access to Mt. Tom, including creating the Mt. Tom North Trailhead Park (Underwood Aid Station!) with the City of Easthampton, restoring Anniversary Hill Park with the City of Holyoke and an innovative effort to conserve 40 acres of open space in Eastampton while also establishing a new affordable housing community.

Oh, and one last thing ~ Since the Mt. Tom Trail Race is a nonprofit fundraising event (that supports the Kestrel 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.
