The 38th annual Ridgewood Run organized by North Jersey Masters will be held as usual on Memorial Day on a mostly flat course through the beautiful tree lined streets of Ridgewood. There is an earlier start time for the 10K this year which is the USATF-NJ Men’s Masters Championship! The race has a very festive atmosphere and many amenities but be sure to pre-register as there is no race day registration.

Tom Fleming will be the honorary starter of this local race through the tree lined streets of Montclair. The 10K always draws a lot of club members and the 2-miler is a great race for kids who are aspiring runners. The courses are mostly flat with the 10K going through Edgemont and Anderson parks. The Montclair YMCA organizes the day’s events with something for the entire family. Pre-race sign-up is available at Fleet Feet with packet pickup on May 31 and Jun 1.
This Thursday-night event, one of our summer group runs, is a friendly 4-mile race against the Smoke Rise Road Runners in Kinnelon. Smoke Rise is a beautiful place to run (or walk) and the course winds around a lake on quiet, tree-lined streets with some challenging hills in miles 2 and 3. It’s well worth the drive and the folks at Smoke Rise always give us a very warm welcome. Post race festivities will be held at the home of George and Christa Studzinski (14 Undercliff Rd). Please R.S.V.P. (studzins@umdnj.edu) and plan to arrive at the beach parking lot at Smoke Rise by 7:15 pm.

This premier New Jersey 5K organized by Sneaker Factory usually produces some very fast times on its double-loop course through downtown Millburn. It returns this year as the USATF-NJ Open Men’s 5K Championship. The late evening start adds to the excitement as the race unfolds with night-time approaching and many spectators cheering on the runners. Most people stay for the post race party behind Charlie Brown’s Restaurant with complementary beverages served from a Sam Adams beer truck.
