START / FINISH LOCATION:
Shire Breu-Hous
63 Flansburg Ave
Dalton, MA 01226
The Mount Greylock Century presented by Berkshire Velo 413 features some of the most challenging climbs in western Massachusetts. Riders will be treated to quiet backcountry roads and some of the nicest views in the county. While the north side of Greylock and Kingsley Hill Rd have gained some notoriety, don't discount some of the lesser known climbs such as Monroe Hill, Windsor and East Hoosac. We recommend compact gearing as riders will encounter mid-teens and higher percent grades several times over the course of 12,000 feet of climbing. We believe the route ranks right up there amongst the most challenging centuries in the Northeast.
Event details: Parking and registration are located at the Stationery Factory in Dalton Massachusetts. The Century riders will have a group start at 7:30 AM and Metric Century will start at their own-will at 9:30 AM. We recommend riders budget an additional two hours over their normal century pace. There will be five aid stations located along the route. The ride will be supported until ~4:30 PM.
Post ride: The Shire Tavern will be opening the kitchen for us at 3:30 offering a full menu. Beers will be complimentary using fare tickets. A nice way to recover a bit before that drive home!
Century and Metric Century Routes
Last minute updates will be posted on our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/BerkshireVelo/
The will be held, rain or shine!
Warning: This is a difficult ride. Slower riders should opt for the Metric Century. You will be abandoned if you are out on the road past 5pm. Its not fair to volunteers who will be committing 12 hours of their time to support the ride only to have super slow riders still out on the road until dark.
Nearly 500 runners and walkers joined us last year, and after three years of tinkering, we finally cracked the code: same course, same start and finish, and the same post-race reward — a cold Common Roots beer. This year, we’re kicking off at 6:30 PM and hoping for clear skies. Thanks to the running clubs, creative teams, and proud wearers of wild shirts and wilder props who make this event what it is. See you at the start line, where good people, great stories, and maybe a few mismatched costumes collide for a cause that runs deep.

Hoopla 2026 dates just announced!
Join us for a weekend of bringing folks together to enjoy cycling, camping, outdoor adventure and fun! Make new friends, ride awesome trails and try out new bikes. We have planned a family friendly event and are ready to inspire new riders as well as to challenge trail and road warriors alike. Enjoy guided rides for all levels in the beauty of the Berkshire Hills: road ride, single track, gravel, kids, enduro, double track and family friendly trails. Bonfires, food trucks, live music, BBQ and maybe even a disco tent! This is not a mountain bike specific event, it’s open to all disciplines of cycling whether you are on a road, gravel, kids, fat or mountain bike. Just c’mon out and play!
Camping and event activities are located at Ponderosa Pines Campground at 50 Potter Mountain Rd, in Lanesborough. It is best accessed from the east or south(Pecks Rd, Bull Hill Rd or Churchill St and beware of your GPS advising you to come in from NY to the west via Potter Mtn Rd, you won’t make it over! The campground is nestled in-between Balance Rock State Park and Pittsfield State Forest(https://www.mass.gov/locations/pittsfield-state-forest), the 3rd and 4th largest public lands in the state of Massachusetts. Being on a dirt road it is the perfect location to start a gravel ride, with direct access to single track out the back of the campground is doesn’t get much better for the mountain bikers and the Mount Greylock Visitor Center(https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount-greylock-state-reservation) on Rockwell Rd is a short 7 miles away so you won’t use up to much energy before pedaling to the highest point in Massachusetts on your road bike! We will have a kids loop that stays close to
the event site, but even young teenagers will find that the access to the single track is quite manageable.
Our goal is to create a safe and fun environment to gather like minded people. With your participation, Hoopla is able to support other local cycling events, maintain and improve existing trails, purchase equipment for trail builders and donate to fitness/sporting organizations that need a little help.
Hope to see you there!

The race begins at the Crystal Cove beach and features a single loop swim.

Finally, the racers finish on a mostly flat run course around Crystal Lake.

The Pro/Cat1/Cat2 course is just over 5 miles long, while the Cat3 course is 3 miles long. They start out on the same trail, but there is a short bypass for the Cat 3.
There is plenty of parking at Rielbauer's, as well as flush toilets, an outdoor shower, and an outdoor Bier Garten serving Bratwurst and Beer! Riedlbauer's requests no coolers, as they earn their revenue from the Bier Garten.
Riedlbauer's also has rooms with meals included, but they will probably sell out, so book early if you would like to stay. There are plenty of lodging options nearby if they do sell out, some suggestions can be found on the Round Top Mtn. Bike Association's website at RTMBA.org.
Ride hard and have fun!
Join us for year EIGHT of Connecticut's most monstrous 5k in the majestic hills of Salisbury Connecticut. Our third year as a USATF certified course, is specially dedicated this year to Peter Hawley, who was a runner among runners and the most generous champion of race directors across Connecticut, certifying hundreds of races and doing double duty to raise money and awareness.
The route climbs what feels like 1,000 ft in the first mile, but gains an actual 500 feet at mile 1.3 before runners turn around at the top of Lincoln City Road, and fly back down the same steeps, flanked by extraordinary views of Lake Wononscopomuc during autumn's final peak.
As always, this run is fun(d)raiser with proceeds supporting evidence-based adventure and arts and educational programming for people ages 12-20 in order to prevent the elevated risks for alcohol and drug abuse faced by young people in rural areas of New England where the overdose rate is among the highest in the state. To date, we have raised over $7,500 for organizations making a difference. This year a portion of race proceeds and all additional donations will support Catamount Resort's National Ski Patrol Young Adult Program (YAP) an organization aligned with our mission, which is to bring forth the best of the BEAST in all of us.
Our majestic and evergreen course has welcomed runners from all over the Eastern Region who enjoy the quintessential views and vibe of old-world New England in the autumn. This corner of Connecticut offers every adventure, play and recreational opportunity, making the event fun for the whole family.
Now you can run from anywhere - select Virtual Race in your option to sign up!
Student Discounts, regardless of where you are!
The Run to Remember 5k--brought to the Troy community by the Jack Newkirk Squadron of Arnold Air Society--is a family friendly, community wide event aimed at supporting local veterans, as well as current college students. All are welcome to enjoy this event. There is a student discount of $15 once you begin registration.
This year, we are proud to be partnering with Mission 22, a non-profit organization dedicated to offering free mental health, wellness, and community support programs for veterans and their families. Their programs are designed to provide immediate help, eliminating the wait that veterans often face. They are also partnered with fifteen other organizations to help veteran families with finances, mental health, and rehabilitation.
Mission 22 was named after a statistic from a 2013 study conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs: an estimated twenty-two veterans die by suicide each day. Mission 22's goal is to combat this statistic by providing support and resources and raising awareness. Their website can be found at this link.
We are excited to be supporting this organization and hope to see everyone there! Wishing everyone the best of luck!
