JOIN US ON SUNDAY11/19 FOR THE THE LAKE HOPATCONG PIZZA TRAIL 5K.
This run is in honor and memory of Lynette Denson, a local resident and founder of Tru Nature Yoga. Proceeds will be used to establish a scholarship for a Jefferson High School student. Discover nature and the serenity of the trail by taking part in our Pizza Trail Run. We hope to give you a race that is fun, that gives you a "pizza" of the trail, a glimpse into trail running.
This course is super important to us. Right in our backyard, I always wanted to bring Lynette here but after a full hip replacement and bone cancer, it wasn't in the cards for my friend. In 2020, we hosted a race here and Lynette came. I had arranged for the EMTs to take her to the bridge but she opted to walk as much as she could. She made it the whole 3.1 miles and had a great time. 2 months later she broke her femur from bone cancer and by May 2021 her battle with breast cancer ended. We miss her so much.
The Course:
The course is a loop around the Prospect point trails. The beginning of the terrain is a wide, pressed gravel road with some rocks and hills to contend with. After the first mile, the course turns a _little more technical as cross the bridge to Liffy Island _and explore some of the trails and former Boy Scout Campground. Expect to encounter some logs and some softer dirt on narrower single-track trails before heading back to the bridge and returning back to the wide trail.
* Amenities:
Pizza Themed Finisher's Medal, A slice of pizza catered by Little Nikki's, and a well-marked, chip-timed course.
Space and parking are limited. We strongly recommend carpooling.
Awards:
Overall Best Time - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Male & Female
Age Group Awards
11 and under -, 11-15, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80 +
