About This Event
Join us for the inaugural Black Birch Vineyard 10 Mile Race! Set in the rural farm rich community of Hatfield, Massachusetts is a boutique winery serving authentic, hand-pressed signature wines. This race is brought to you by the creators of the Happy Valley Half Marathon & 5K and Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon & 5K
Course
A stunning early Spring landscape, long winding country roads, a few challenging (but fun) hills and a refreshing glass of wine waiting for you in a picturesque setting. This ten mile race kicks off at Black Birch Vineyard and takes you on a tour of two quaint New England towns. The course is suitable for all ability levels. It’s positioned two-weeks after the Saint Patrick’s Day 10K and two-weeks before the Fort Hill Brewery Half Marathon, as you look to plan your early Spring season. There will be a 3-hour time limit to complete the course.
Post Race Experience
All finishers will receive a beautifully designed, elegant Black Birch wine glass and a free pour courtesy of the Vineyard, to commemorate your experience. We'll also be pairing some delicious foods and snacks that you can enjoy post-race, while listening to live music.
