November 22, 2026 at the Wayne High School Track. Registration start at 12:30PM, races start at 2PM. Our second race, but inaugural turkey run! Please read carefully, because it's going to be a little different from our spring race. For this run, we're seeing how many miles we can complete together AS A WHOLE. KIDS CHOOSE THE DISTANCE! (But race within their age group.) We will still be running the heats by age group so an ambitious four year old isn't taking on a twelve year old. However, within each age group, kids choose how far they want to run. Ages 3-4 50 yards race or 100 yards race Ages 5-6 100 yards race or 200 meters Ages 7-9; 10-13 200 meters race or 400 meter Mile Challenge- Open to all of the age groups, racers can opt to run/walk a mile after the shorter heats are finished. We will add everyone's distances together and see how many miles we can complete, as a goal to beat next year. Similarly to our spring run, this is a free event. The only cost is a donation if you so choose to make one, and a shirt if you so choose to order one. The design is the logo. Shirts are $12 for youth and $15 for adult. This year, donations will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Aside from online donations, there will be a race day option to donate money or aluminum tabs (pop tabs). We will have water (or hot chocolate if it's cold), music, and finishing medals for all participants. It is important that this race is inclusive, so if you have a child with a disability and this is something they are interested in, please just message me and we will brainstorm accommodations to make it work. Also, volunteers are needed! For the different races to run smoothly, we will need the help of as many volunteers as well can get. Message me if you are interested in helping.

This annual event is now in its third year and is a great way to keep you motivated over winter training and/or tune up for your spring events. The park loop is a fairly flat 1.25 miles and you have the option of a 1/2 Marathon, Full Marathon, 50K, or 4 Person Marathon Relay. The races start in the center of the park and do a prologue partial lap to the perimeter and then loop the park clockwise finishing at the Tot Lot Pavilion. We will have lots of great snacks, drinks, and pizza. It will be a fun and festive atmosphere. Packet pick up will be available race morning starting at 7:30am. This event will be incredibly spectator friendly as runners will pass by the finish area after every 1.25 mile loop. This also makes it easy to use the indoor (heated) bathrooms and change clothes, get your own fluids/foods, etc. Live results will be posted to the results link on RunSignup and we will have a livestream throughout the day on our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@2lraceservices so that family/friends can follow the action from near and far. There will be an 8 hour time limit for the event making it very walker friendly for the half and full marathon (but not the 50K).

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone who loves a relaxed walk, this event is for YOU! The Run for the Last Mile 5K is an officially registered, USATF Sanctioned, and USATF-NJ Grand Prix 500 Point Race hosted on the scenic campus of William Paterson University. This event isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about opening doors for our students. Every year, some students face financial barriers in their final semesters, unable to afford the last few courses they need to graduate. Proceeds from this event directly support the Last Mile Fund, a scholarship dedicated to bridging that affordability gap and helping students achieve their dreams of graduation. But this day is about more than fundraising—it’s about community and connection. Individuals and teams (including community groups, student organizations, staff, and faculty) are invited to participate, with awards celebrating team spirit, enthusiasm, and performance on the course. You’ll be cheere
