WINDSOR, Mass. – In recent years, runners at the Notchview Ultra have had to endure wet conditions at some point during the multi-day event with at least one round of rain soaking the course and turning parts of the trail slippery. Most notably, the 2023 edition concluded with 24 consecutive hours of downpour when monsoon-like conditions brought flooding and extensive damage to parts of western Massachusetts and nearby Vermont.

Runners enjoyed a reprieve from the rain at this year’s event, and they capitalized on some of the finest weather in Notchview Ultra history by unleashing a different type of storm–a monsoon of mileage–during the 11th edition of the event on July 10-13 at Notchview Reservation in Windsor, Mass.

The Berkshire Ultra Running Community for Service (BURCS) played host to the 11th edition of the Notchview Ultra on July 10-13, 2026, at Notchview Reservation in Windsor, Mass. Runners took on a distance-specific 100-mile race or time-based 72-hour, 48-hour 24-hour, 12-hour daytime, 12-hour overnight, and 6-hour ultras on a 1.9-mile cross country ski loop course.
