BCC Harvest Run 5K

Step into the vibrant heart of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, for an unforgettable day at Berkshire Community College’s Paterson Field House on West Street. On September 25, 2026, runners and families alike are invited to participate in a series of events that celebrate community spirit and athletic achievement.
The main attraction is the Community 5K Race, set to start promptly at 10:00 AM from Paterson Field House. This race offers participants an opportunity to experience the scenic beauty of Pittsfield while challenging themselves on a course designed for all levels of runners. The entry fee is $25 if registered in advance and $30 day-of registration, with children under age 18 running free.
For those looking for fun rather than fierce competition, don't miss out on the Kids Fun Run at 10:45 AM. This one-mile event welcomes kids aged 12 and under to enjoy a playful run around Paterson Field House. The best part? It's completely FREE!
Post-race festivities kick off with an awards ceremony starting at 11:30 AM, where top runners in various age groups will be recognized for their outstanding performance. In addition to traditional accolades, the event also features prizes for the most creatively dressed participants.
Race day registration and packet pick-up are available on Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Berkshire Running Center located downstairs at Allendale Shopping Center, just a short distance away from Paterson Field House. Participants can secure their race entry in advance or opt for same-day sign-ups.
Tech shirts (available in men's and women’s sizes) are provided exclusively for all registered runners of the 5K event, though it is recommended to register early as shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed on race day due to limited availability.
Proceeds from this year’s Community Race will go directly towards supporting the Nursing & Allied Health Programs at Berkshire Community College. Join us in Pittsfield and contribute to a cause that makes a real difference in the community.
This event promises an engaging atmosphere for both runners and spectators, with activities catering to all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're seeking personal achievement or simply looking for a fun day out with family, this Community Race has something special waiting just for you.
