The Experience

The NJ Endurance Classic unfolds within the scenic expanse of Duke Island Park, a 343-acre haven in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Runners will trace the picturesque Raritan River Greenway, a course designed for speed and natural beauty. This tree-lined, shaded path offers a flat and fast profile, ideal for setting personal bests.

The half marathon, 10K, and 5K all utilize a 3.35-mile loop within the park, ensuring every runner experiences the riverfront views and community atmosphere. With real-time chip timing on each loop, participants can track their progress. Spectators can easily cheer on friends and family, as the loop design allows for multiple viewing opportunities.

This inaugural event promises a festive start to the summer running season, complete with a technical t-shirt, a substantial die-cast medal, and post-race bagels. The ~165 finishers can expect robust support with water stations and gels strategically placed along the course, contributing to a well-organized and engaging race day.
