Course Description
New for 2025 - We've redesigned the course to keep the best of the original while removing the Rte 47 stretch and adding even more scenic beauty.
Mile 1: Begin with a short .4 mile uphill "warm-up" on Mountain Rd toward the gate of Skinner State Park where you turn right onto Old Mountain Rd. and enjoy a fast .6 mile gentle downhill through Hockanum Village to the turn-around at mile 1.
Mile 2: As you turn-around wave to your fellow runners as you head back up Old Mountain Road passing featuring historic homes and picturesque scenery. Pass through Skinner State Park gate and begin the climb to the water stop at mile 2.
Final Stretch: Time to dig-in and tackle the final mile with a challenging climb of 800 feet on a paved road, leading you to the summit finish line atop Mt. Holyoke.
