30th Annual Mt. Holyoke Summit Run 5K

The storm clouds passed just in time for the start of the 30th Annual Summit Run 5K race up the auto road on Mt. Holyoke in Hadley, MA. This classic hill climb event, put on by my awesome local running group, the Sugarloaf Mountain Athletic Club, is like a mini version of the famous Mt. Washington road race. Most of the course is shaded beneath roadside trees, but I found a spot about a hundred feet before the finish where an expansive view out to the Connecticut River opened up behind the runners.
