Special Events
Join us for a family-friendly group bike/run/stroll on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail in Cheshire, MA.
The It Takes a Village crew has been on the Move this month as part of the Moving Forward for Families fundraiser. We will get some of our miles in with our families on Saturday, June 26 on the lovely Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, and we want you to come too!
We will meet at the southern tip of the trail, at the Berkshire Mall (US 7 Rte 8 Connector Rd, Lanesborough, MA 01237). at 10:00am. There is parking and (according to the trail map) restrooms there.
We will set out together, but everyone will ride/run/stroll only as far or as long as they like. Kids and leashed dogs are welcome!
