C'mon Armageddon is designed to test runners through some of the most difficult, technical terrain on the East Coast. 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 over 7000ft in the 50K or a 10 Miler or 5 Miler. The 10 Miler will be an out and back course covering over 2000ft and the 5 Miler will be a lollipop covering nearly 1000ft of climbing and descending. Don’t worry… every course offers beautiful trails and breathtaking views!

This is a zero carbon event, meaning we take into account the emissions released in relation to hosting this trail race. The Running Kind will be subsidizing the cost to offset the event, however there is a fee included in your registration specifically for this cost. This will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Change Climate Project to support a carbon offset project we believe in.
In addition to going zero carbon at this event, The Running Kind will be collecting monetary donations for the NY NJ Trail Conference.

In an effort to improve diversity in trail racing and remove a potential barrier for the under-served and under-represented, Go Beyond Racing established the Trail Mix Fund™ in 2021. This Fund pays the race registration fee for runners who cannot afford it or aren’t sure they belong in the sport. The response to the Trail Mix Fund was so positive that this official not-for-profit organization was created and is now helping more trail racers get to the starting line.
Do you want to race but can’t afford the entry fee? Are you a part of the BIPOC or LGBTQ+ community?
Apply to the Trail Mix Fund to have your registration fee waived to any of our events.
