The 23rd Annual Tour of the Litchfield Hills is on for Sunday, August 2nd.
As many of you know, the Tour is a charity ride to benefit The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills Inc. Over the past twenty-two years, the Tour has raised well over $1,600,000 to help cancer victims and their families deal with the ravages of cancer.
The Tour will be fully supported with SAG wagons and rest stops. All of the roads are paved. The Tour routes will take you on scenic, lightly travelled rural roads and through historic villages. There will be our traditional free picnic held at the end of the ride. The first 700 people who register receive a free t-shirt. The Tour is held rain or shine!
Some important things to note are:
The registration fee is $50 if you register online by July 15th. Starting July 16th, the registration fee goes up to $55.
If you raise $1,500 or more in donations, you will receive a free Tour bike jersey.
Because the Tour is the primary fund-raising event for the Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, all registrations are non-refundable.
Before you start your ride or walk you must check in at the registration desks at Coe Park - even if you have pre-registered.
We encourage you to form teams. Check our website for details.
We encourage you to collect additional donations from friends, family, biking buddies, random strangers, etc. You can make additional donations on this site or go to www.Pledgereg.com.
Tour bike jerseys will be able for sale at the Tour. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted.
Check out our webpage - www.tourofthelitchfieldhills.com - for routes, elevations, photos and other information on the Tour. In planning which route to ride, please note that sag support and rest stops will end at 4 pm.
Stay safe! Bike a lot! And we will see you on Sunday August 2nd at Coe Park in Torrington!
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!

Free to Run
The Berkshire Ultra Running Community for Service (BURCS) is excited to present 2026's Free to Run Trail Races! This race supports Free to Run, Inc., an organization whose is to enable women and girls to safely and boldly engage in outdoor activity in conflict-affected regions. Through a combination of sports programs, life skills development, and community outreach, they help women to reclaim public spaces and work to change views about the roles that women can (and should!) play in a society. Their programs are designed to develop community leaders who can bring people together across cultural, ethnic and religious lines. They work to provide our participants with the tools to succeed because they can and will be a force for positive change.
The Basics
Date: September 12, 2026 - back to the fall this year!Distances: 50k - 25k - 15k - 5 mileStart Times: 50k: 8:00 AM. 25k and 15k: 9:00 AM. 5 miler; 9:30AM.Location: Pittsfield State Forest, Pittsfield MA.Course: This is BURCS' "hard" race! The course features long climbs, fast descents, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the county. We are stoked to share the wonderful Pittsfield State Forest with our running friends. Race options for 2026 include a 50k ultramarathon, a 25k, a 15k, and new for 2026 - a 5 mile option. All distances are approximate; if I'm being honest.. you're probably going to get a little bit of a bonus. The race course is designed as a double-loop/figure 8, combining for approximately 15.5 miles and 3000 feet of vertical gain. A few SLIGHT tweaks to the course for 2026, but we're keeping all the best bits. The "Big Loop" is ~10.5 miles, and consists of climbs to Pine Mountain, Tower Mountain, and Berry Hill. This loop features several breathtaking vistas, a fun section along the Taconic Crest Trail, and a fast, winding descent back to the start/finish line. The "Little Loop" is a little bit shorter than last year, now about 5.5 miles long. It still begins with an ascent up the gorgeous Lulu Brook trail, and then makes its way back down via a fast, windy descent to the start-finish line.50k runners will complete both the "Big Loop" and the "Little Loop" two times. 25k runners will do each loop onces. 15k runners will do the "Big Loop" once; 5 mile runners will do the "Little Loop". They're all great!Cutoffs: 50k must be completed within twelve hours (by 8:00 PM) for an official finish. One hard cutoff, the last "small loop" must be started by 6:00 PM (ten hours). Aid Stations: THREE aid stations this year! With all of your favorite aid station staples, plus perhaps a few surprises! This is designed to be a challenging race and the expectation is that runners will carry water and some calories with them on the course. Awards and Shirts: Each finisher will receive a finishers award. All runners who register prior to September 1st will receive a shirt; runners who register after that date will receive a shirt on a best-efforts basis. Pricing: We're keeping pricing the same as in prior years. If you're looking to save a couple of dollars - or if you already own WAY too many race shirts as it is - use the "NOSHIRT" code at checkout and we'll take $20 off your total. Camping: There are multiple campsites in Pittsfield State Forest complete with showers and bathrooms. Runners are responsible for booking their own campsites with Pittsfield State ForestWe reserve the right to convert this to a virtual event, should we be unable to secure race permits or if state or local officials prohibit our ability to hold this as an in-person event. Because we donate profits to charities, we do not offer refunds or deferrals, with the exception of pregnancy deferrals. If you can not make it to the event, please consider your registration a donation.

Runners will proceed south until reaching the blue-blazed trail entrance on the left. The first 4/10 of a mile is on the road to help spread out the runners before entering the single track. Runners will then run the blue trail in the counter-clockwise direction. The first section of single track is not super steep, but it’s a grinding climb until the first major descent just over 2 miles into the race. From there it’s rolling with some pretty technical sections of
single track with a few short road crossings. A little before mile 5, runners are faced with the challenging climb up Cobble Mountain and it’s amazing viewpoint to the west, where on a clear day, you can see the Catskill Mountains in NY. From there it’s a long technical descent back down to a left hand turn onto Macedonia Brook Rd. and a quick sprint finish on the grass near the pavilion.The 25K course will consist of 2 loops of the 12K course, plus a small out and back at the beginning of the race. The 25K course will have 3500'+ of elevation. The 50K course will be a 3 loop course utilizing some additional trails in the park, but will include 3 trips up and over the famous Cobble Mountain.

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.

The FlexRelay Format
At IronHike we use a FlexRelay format for each of our Events. We call them FlexRelays because they are flexible. Each team member, whether in the Trail Buddy or Trail Family event, has no minimum or maximum laps, mileage, elevation, or time on the course. Teams manage who is on the mountain for how long and when, according to conditions, fitness levels, and the needs of the team.
Common Questions
Do I need to be a runner? No. IronHike is a hiking Event. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly and keep moving, you can do this. Running is never required.
What if I can't finish? Every lap is earned. There is no shame in stopping. Every Mountain Athlete sets their own ceiling — the Event ends when you decide it ends, or when the Final Bell rings.
