Josh Billings Runaground Triathlon – Run, Bike, Canoe
September 20 @ 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
The Josh Billings Runaground is a 27-mile bike, 5-mile canoe/kayak/SUP, and 6-mile run triathlon held amid the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
The race starts in Great Barrington with a 27-mile bike ride through five towns with scenic backcountry roads and rolling hills to Stockbridge Bowl in Stockbridge where bikers hand off the wrist band to paddlers waiting at the lake. Canoeists, kayakers, and SUPs sprint five miles around the lake ending at Camp Mah-Kee-Nac where the wristband is tossed to runners waiting on the beach. Runners head out of the camp and run a little over six miles around the lake and finish at the Tanglewood Main Gate, where thousands of friends and family and fans cheer on the finishers.
The race is followed by a large party with music, food, vendors, and awards.
