double the fun: spring forward & fall back
The Long Run will feature a give or take 5 mile loop around Jacobsburg State Park. The course takes you on gorgeous single track as well as some flat & fast gravel trails with about 450 ft of elevation change. Runners can complete one loop, or run as many loops as possible in 3 or 6 hours. This year we are bringing you two editions of The Long Run… Spring Forward & Fall Back. The original course will be run in Spring & in Fall we will run it backwards!
conquer the catskills
Climb It For Climate is returning in 2024 as a stand alone event in the Catskill Mountains at Belleayre! Sitting just under 3500ft, this formidable mountain offers epic views of the stunning Catskill High Peaks around every turn. Runners participating will have the option of a 25K or an 8K. Donations being collected through registration & raffle for The Catskill Center.
bring on the end of the world!
In 2023, The Running Kind brought you this brutal race as the last of a mountain series, now it stands alone. C'mon Armageddon is designed to test runners through difficult, technical terrain. Located in northern NJ, these mountains will provide the home for the toughest race we offer. The course will take runners through boulder fields, river crossings and up mountain peaks to some of the best views in the state, including the New York City skyline! You can choose to take on nearly 7000 ft in the 50K or an alternative 25K offering 2500 ft.
