SPECTATORS

Spectators are welcome to join us at the race start at Haigis Mall on the UMass Amherst Campus. There is ample parking for those who wish to cheer on runners and watch the start of the race. We encourage friends and family of runners to carpool with them and drop off their runner(s) at the start where they can cheer them on and show support.

Note: 10 Mile runners will clear the roads in Amherst quickly before continuing on the Norwottuck Rail Trail allowing vehicle traffic through. Spectators will be able to drop off runners, show their support at the start, and still have plenty of time to make their way back to Northampton to watch runners finish with time to spare.
