Blue Hills Adventure Race
The Blue Hills Adventure Race is a one day adventure race held in Greenfield, Massachusetts. The inaugural edition explores the Connecticut River Valley and brings traditional adventure racing back to the state for the first time in well over a decade. Race headquarters are listed as TBA.
The course combines mountain biking, foot travel, paddling, and map and compass navigation. The event unfolds over roughly fifteen hours and uses a modified rogaine format. All teams must complete a designated mandatory route that requires less navigational skill and is intended to be short enough for teams with adequate baseline fitness to reach the finish line. Experienced teams may attempt additional optional checkpoints that provide extra route choice and scoring opportunities.
The race format emphasizes navigation, checkpoints, strategy, and route choice. Registration opens April 6, 2026 and closes July 15, 2026. The registration fee is $185.00. The event occurs on September 19, 2026 in Greenfield, MA. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
