XTERRA New Jersey Marathon and Half Marathon Trail Run will compete for 56 qualifying XTERRA Trail Run World Championship spots.
The Half Marathon loop (which will be run 2x for the Marathon) starts with the Gravel loop that will be featured in Sunday’s Multisport events, and then feeds directly into the 10K loop. So we expect race times will be considerably faster than previous versions of Running The Beast that were held at Wawayanda. There will be aid stations at 7 & 13 miles.
The 10K loop (ok more like 6.5 miles) will run along portions of majestic Wawayanda Lake for absolutely spectacular views. The course is rolling hills and there is not a killer fire tower type climb. The first 3 miles of the 10K is packed dirt with some rocks and roots before heading into 2.2 miles of rocky goodness with some more technical trails and then finishing on fire road and lake side sand.
The 4K loop is the one used for the past nine Wedneday Wonders Sprint Triathlons. This loop is not technical and suitable for al ages. The one true trail section of this loop is wide and grassy.
All courses will be well marked with Arrow Signage. Loops subject to change based on trail conditions.
