Race Information
The Independence Day Road Race precedes the Pittsfield 4th of July Parade each year. The race has been a 5k every year since its inception, with the exception of 1993 when the course was shortened slightly due to construction on First Street. The course changed several times in the first twelve years, but was always run more or less following the parade route (someimtes in reverse). It has always been relatively flat (by Berkshire standards) with few curves. It is thus considered a fast road course...that is, if you're not boxed-in by the thousands of other runners, strollers, and errant specators. Something like 25,000 to 100,000 spectators see the parade, and a large portion witness the race. For that reason alone, the race is a special one for the locals, and a draw for out-of-town runners.
