Organiser's Description
Join the Pineland Striders for our annual Independence Day Races! The Pineland Striders are proud to welcome runners to Medford, NJ for the 46th year! Join us in celebrating Independence Day with some sweaty summer miles!
The event features a 10K, 5K, and FREE Kids' Fun Run. Participants in the USATF-sanctioned, chip-timed 10K and 5K will receive our exclusive race swag. As usual, our swag item is high-quality and one-size-fits-all. It's not quite time to share this year's item, but stay tuned for a big reveal closer to race day. You won't be taking home a scratchy cotton t-shirt covered with sponsor logos!
Both the 10K and 5K courses are fast and flat. On-course hydration will be available. Strollers are allowed on both the 10K and 5K races, but the race does finish by crossing a grass field onto the Shawnee High School track. Sorry, pet-lovers, but dogs are not allowed in the race. With a two-hour cutoff, all paces are welcome!
