PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The eighth running of the MountainOne Thankful 5K currently has more than 400 registered walkers and runners to take to the road on Thanksgiving morning at 9 a.m. from Berkshire Community College.

 

Drivers are asked to be aware of the increased activity along the half mile stretch from Meadow Ridge Drive to Berkshire Community College.

 

Registration for the event will continue in person at Berkshire Running Center on Wednesday from noon to 5 p.m. There is no day-of registration, although pre-registered runners can pick up their bibs the morning of the race from 7:30 to 8:30.

 

The 5K course will start on West Street just past the college and lead the attendees through the

parking lots of the campus and then will be out on West Street toward Meadow Ridge Drive.

 

Once the runners turn down Woodland Drive, they will return and follow the course back to West Street and then finish in the parking lot of the Patterson Field House.  

 

Pittsfield Police Department will be on site to also provide support for a safe passage for all participants. The Berkshire Running Foundation also left flyers in the mailboxes of the homes that the 5K passes.

 

Expectations are the race will be completed shortly after 10 a.m.
