Come join the Rock Ridge community in a time honored tradition that winds thru the scenic roads surrounding our lake the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This will be our 7th year hosting the legendary race, which has brought folks in from all over the globe in years past. Bring the kids and they can participate in a short race after the 5K and collect some goodies afterwards. Even if you have plans later this day to start prepping your menu for Thanksgiving, running a few miles in the morning and helping out a local lake community can only make you feel better about yourself. Awards will be handed out to the fastest overall adult/child. Who knows there may even be an unscheduled cold plunge... Where do I run/walk? We will be starting at 9AM on 11/22 in front of the RRCC Clubhouse (53 Entrance Way Denville NJ) this is the race course since roads will not be closed for the event, please exercise caution when running/walkingFree Kids Fun run will follow the race at approximately 10AM but will be subject to change based on attendantsFeel free to join our Ridge Runners Strava Group to track your runs and performance against other group members.
