Runners follow a mountainous, out-and-back route for the Mount Greylock Trail Races, which start and finish at Greylock Glen on Gould Road, the meadow that lies at the foot of Mount Greylock. The challenging half marathon course “offers running worthy of the mountain,” race organizers say, noting that the race unfolds along mountain trails like the Thunderbolt Trail up to Mount Greylock, and the Overlook Trail down and around the mountain down toward Saddle Ball Mountain.
