Organiser's Description
Join us for the MARCH MADNESS HALF MARATHON, 10K, 5K run festival in beautiful Weequahic Park, ESSEX COUNTY, Newark, NJ. The course is mostly on well maintained paved paths through wooded sections that border a picturesque lake. The paved surface is mostly a rubber track (amazing!!) and is made for uber fan support, just long enough to keep you interested and so that anyone going long gets support from family and friends each time they make a pass at the start and finish line .... and turn around point of the race. The race is fully supported with 3 expertly managed support stations with Gatorade, water, and gels. Live timing and live tracking so that we can see your progress on a digital map throughout the entire event. Live streaming of the finish line with photography and finisher videos for all. Add to this some really big and beautiful finisher medals, soft and comfortable technical t-shirts, and food and beverages to go along with the music and fun at our always memorable awards ceremony. So, don't wait, this race will sell out. Join us now and make it happen at the MARCH MADNESS HALF MARATHON, 10K, 5k run festival.
