Western Mass 10

The Western Mass 10 is a scenic 10-mile point-to-point race held in Amherst and Northampton, Massachusetts, typically in early November during peak fall foliage. The course starts on the UMass Amherst campus, passes through downtown Amherst, and follows the Norwottuck Trail, a paved bike path with a net downhill elevation offering panoramic views of the Holyoke Range and Connecticut River Valley. A highlight is crossing the Connecticut River via the Northampton Lattice Truss Bridge before finishing downtown Northampton near Union Station.

Participants receive a custom finisher medal and technical shirt, and enjoy a festive post-race party. A 5K race, the NoHo 5K, is also offered on a flat course in Northampton. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
