After running some of the bigger races in NYC, I was happy to find a nice local race that was simple. You roll up, park and run. If you are looking for tons of fanfare and a large to-do, this may not be the race for you. I really enjoyed the challenge aspect of training for a half marathon that was split between a 5k and a 10 miler. Adding the extra medal for doing both is a great motivator. Easy packet pickup, and just a great course. Not much going on as far as fans, but the course is well-marked and closed off and its never very crowded with other runner.
Each year they do a different New Jersey theme and its really clever. I intend to run this race every year I’m healthy.
