NORTH ADAMS, Mass.— MountainOne was excited to be the lead sponsor of Berkshire Running Center's flagship event earlier this month.

This is MountainOne's third year partnering with Berkshire Running Foundation, a nonprofit agency established to support the running community and promote a healthier lifestyle in Western Massachusetts. The weekend's races included Mo Mile on Saturday, May 18, and the MountainOne Steel Rail Races on Sunday, May 19.

The event included the Mo Mile, a free half or full mile run event for children ages 12. All children who participated in the Mo Mile also received a free copy of "How to Climb a Mountain," MountainOne's new storybook, featuring Mo, the MountainOne Spokesgoat.

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."

Snow, or More Snow? Depends on Your State

04:04PM / Thursday, February 19, 2026

The Berkshires could get 2 to 4 inches of snow on Friday. Or it could get 6 to 9 inches.

Which are you hoping for?

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm warning for Southern Vermont and a winter storm advisory for the Berkshires — but any snow isn't likely to stop at the imaginary border.

The warning was issued early Thursday afternoon for communities including Bennington, Pownal and Stamford, Vt., beginning Friday at 10 a.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.

The day will start off with a wintry mixed precipitation of snow, sleet and freezing rain. The forecast for total snow accumulations are 6 to 9 inches and up at a 10th of an inch of ice. Snowfall rates may reach up to an inch an hour in the evening.

In the Berkshires, the prediction is 2 to 4 inches of snow with the advisory also in effect from 10 a.m. on Friday to 1 a.m. on Saturday. The higher elevations could see up to 7 inches; the region could see up to 2/10th of an inch of ice.

Snow during the day on Friday will likely be wet and heavier before becoming lighter and drier in the evening.
