The Berkshire Ultra Running Community for Service (BURCS) played host to the ninth in-person edition of the Free to Run Trail Races on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024, at Pittsfield State Forest in Pittsfield, Mass. Runners took on 50-mile and 50K ultramarathons or 25K and 15K sub-ultra distances on tough singletrack trails at an event that raised money for Free to Run, a non-profit organization that has the mission of improving the lives of women and girls in conflict regions through participation in physical activity.
