About the Run Your Axes Off
The course circles Lake Pittsfield, so the water is with you for most of the route. It reads as a flat loop around the lake, open to the sky, with the kind of scenery that makes the effort feel lighter than it is. The race is put on by the local fire department as a fundraiser, so the crowd tends to be neighbors out to support a cause.
