| Far away from the busy city life of Boston and New York City lays the majestic Berkshire Mountains of Western Mass. Quaint towns dot this New England paradise known for its cultural escapes, small restaurants and quiet streets. Run alongside rushing streams, and through mountain ranges as you prepare for the fall marathon season. Browse the antique shops or sit on the porch and enjoy country living while training in style.
