This is definitely one of our racers' favorite races. There are no huge hills and the scenery is beautiful. Beginning and ending at picturesque Shelburne Beach, you will run along dirt, gravel and paved roads featuring scenic views of Vermont countryside and rural farmland. Run past Charlotte Beach situated on beautiful Lake Champlain just before entering the Holmes Creek Covered Bridge for the first time. The course continues on quiet, rolling hills before arriving at the turnaround. The half marathon runs through the covered bridge twice. The 5K and 10K turn around before reaching the bridge (although it's not that far beyond the 10K turnaround, so if you want to run through it, it's not going to add that much to your finish time for 10K runners).

Ride for a Cause
Organized by the Rotary Club of Amherst, this all-volunteer event supports the Amherst Rotary Good Works Fund, which provides local scholarships and funding for charitable programs throughout Hampshire County.
Fundraise for a Cause Through Cycling!
Do you have a favorite local charity you’d love to support? Now you can!
We are a proud host of the Special Olympics Massachusetts Extra Mile Cycling event for Massachusetts. Last year, Kevin’s Krewe 2025 made an incredible impact—31+ riders and 330+ donors raised $46,107.00 for Special Olympics Massachusetts Extra Mile, using the COVAC supported ride platform.
Join the movement—on your own terms!
Fundraising is completely optional—you can participate in the ride just for the joy of cycling or take it a step further by supporting a cause close to your heart. Here’s how:
Register for the COVAC Ride.
Ride solo or with a team—you decide how you participate.
If you choose to fundraise, all donations can go directly to the charity of your choice or to the Rotary Club of Amherst Good Works Fund.
The Rotary Club of Amherst Good Works Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, meaning all donations made directly to the Rotary Club of Amherst Good Works Fund are tax-deductible.
Whether you're riding for a cause or simply for the experience, you’ll be part of an unforgettable event. Let’s ride, make memories, and create positive change!
