The MountainOne Steel Rail Races continued on May 19 with an 8K, a 13.1 half marathon and a Boston Qualifier Marathon Course, all starting and finishing at the end of the Ashuwilliticook Rail Trail, 850 Crane Avenue, Pittsfield.

Runners celebrated at the afterparty with music by the Housie Shakers, featuring Noah Cook-Dubin, Colin Ovitsky, Simeon Bittman, and  Jonathan Denmark, President & COO of MountainOne Insurance.

"Congratulations to all the runners who participated in this weekend's races," said Jennifer Meehan, VP of Community Engagement at MountainOne. "Your dedication and passion inspire us all. In particular, a highlight for me was witnessing the enthusiasm and energy of the young participants of Mo's Mile, who embody the spirit of our community's future."
