Welcome to the Rotation Engineering Berkshire 40, an unforgettable race day experience on picturesque farmland. Situated across 1000 acres within the serene Berkshires, this marathon offers runners a thrilling journey through carefully crafted single-track trails and sections of double track. The course is a 10-mile loop that ensures a mix of varied terrain, with minimal climbs but ample opportunities for flow and technical challenges. The trail surface is premium packed Berkshire loam, providing an exhilarating ride that showcases the property's natural beauty to its fullest extent. Although the race abuts Mt Greylock, you won't find steep ascents; instead, focus on navigating through sections of single-track with ease. The event organizers take pride in their creation, ensuring a closed course loop exclusively for this marathon. Parking and camping options are available at $20 per carload over the weekend or $25 for primitive camping (valid all weekend). Staging and call-ups will be determined by class based on your sign-up order. The race features an official feed zone/aid station located in the parking area, where you can find refreshments at mile 10, 20, and 30. Pro purses of $1000 each are up for grabs for both men's and women's categories. For those looking to test their skills over a shorter distance, there will be a 4-mile race starting from 8 AM on Saturday. Categories include Boys 7-11, Girls 7-11, Boys 4-6, and Girls 4-6. The main event kicks off at 9 AM with four waves of the 40-mile marathon. Pro Men Open, Expert Men, Expert Men 40+, and Expert Men 50+ lead the pack followed by Single Speed Men and Men 60+ Open in Wave 1.
