Blue Hills Adventure Race
The Blue Hills Adventure Race is a one-day adventure race held in Greenfield, Massachusetts, exploring the Connecticut River Valley. This inaugural edition returns traditional adventure racing to the state and combines mountain biking, foot travel, paddling, and map and compass navigation.
The event uses a modified rogaine format. All teams must complete a designated mandatory route that requires less navigational ability and is short enough for teams with adequate baseline fitness to reach the finish within the event timeframe. Additional optional checkpoints are available for more experienced teams, creating opportunities for different strategic choices and route planning. The course emphasizes navigation, checkpoint selection, and team strategy, and is presented for both top competitors and teams newer to adventure racing.
The race date is 09/19/2026. Race headquarters are listed as TBA in Greenfield, MA 01301. Registration opens 05/01/2026 and closes 07/15/2026; the registration fee is $185.00. The event takes place over the course of fifteen hours and aims to showcase the region's hills, forests, and waterways while testing map reading and team decision making.
