Berkshirites looking to get active, stay active, or just be active spectators this summer will find the perfect jumping-off point in Berkshire Sports, a practical and multi-seasonal guide to several of the area’s favorite athletic pastimes.

 

In a straightforward, no-frills format, the site offers a wealth of information about the region, including reviews of locations divvied up by sport, providing need-to-know info about canoeing, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and running locales, allowing interested athletes to assess for themselves the best places to run with a pooch, try out trail running, or practice paddling on “flat” water.

 

Specific events are previewed in the Berkshire Sports calendar and reviewed afterward with race results and photos. Detailed information about the courses and applications for races, such as Curly’s Trail Marathon & Half Marathon (held in the Pittsfield State Forest in late September) and the Holiday Farm Mountain Bike Race Series (in Dalton, Massachusetts, in July and August) are included.

 

Daily inspirational quotes, relevant product reviews, links, records, statistics, and training plans top off its practicality, making Berkshire Sports an invaluable energy supplement to recreation in the Berkshires. [AUGUST 2009]
