The Happy Valley Half Marathon was created to bring you a breath-taking course, designed to showcase some of the most beautiful roads that New England has to offer, during peak Fall foliage. The Happy Valley experience only gets started at the finish line. Your achievement will be celebrated with breweries, food trucks and the enthusiastic support of the local running community.

Speaking of community; this is an event that makes a positive impact year round as the Happy Valley Half Marathon & 5K provides financial support to Easthampton High School’s Track & Field and Cross Country programs. We are supporting the launch of the school’s track club from the ground up. This includes track maintenance work, equipment and anything else that the program needs to hit the ground running (sorry for the pun).

The Happy Valley Half Marathon & 5K takes place during the peak of the fall season in beautiful Western MA. There is so much to do that we think you should come for the race and stay for the weekend! We have partnered with Newenglandchickadee to put together your itinerary for 48 hours in Western MA!

Please note that going forward there are no refunds, deferments and/or bib transfers. If the event cannot be held as planned due to COVID, inclement weather, or other unforeseen issues, you will be granted entry into a future race at no additional charge. We will honor any deferments that have already been requested. We will always honor our commitment to you, a quality race, and an experience you will remember.
