Wawayanda Trail Run!

Wawayanda Trail Run is back again during the peak of autumn foliage. It doesn't disappoint with miles (not an exaggeration) of rhododendron tunnels, marsh bridges and both gravel road and single track! Just about the most diverse course as we could find.

Course

COURSE MAP
The course winds through the hills of Northern Jersey with only 2 road crossings, and they are both IN THE PARK! The routes are a mix of 2 loops, South Loop = 13+ miles and the North Loop = 5+ miles. The full loop totaling 18+ miles.

Half Marathon route = 1 loop of the South Loop (~13 Miles)
50K route = Full Loop (~18miles) + 1 South Loop (~13 Miles)
50 Mile route = Full Loop x 2 (~18miles x 2) + 1 South Loop (~13 Miles)

Aid Stations

There are 3 aid stations: Maraschino, Dam Straight and BaseCamp.
- Maraschino is approx 7miles into the South Loop. NO crews, spectators or drop bags
- Dam Straight is only a .25 mile walk from the Main Event / Start & Finish. Great spot for Crews, Spectators and Drop Bags
- Base Camp will be feet from the Start/Finish & Parking Area. The most convenient for crew/pacers/spectators

The Half will have 1 aid station, Maraschino (plus a quick pass of Dam Straight .25 before the finish)
The 50K will visit 5 Aid Stations (including a quick pass of Dam Straight .25 before the finish)
The 50 Mile will visit 8 Aid Stations (including a quick pass of Dam Straight .25 before the finish)

Amazing volunteers will treat you to some great food at each of the stations. We typically like to have Skratch at our events for a drink. There will be the normal ultra running staples, like PB&J, pretzels, chips, some candy and fruit... and of course broth and perogies, we’ve even been known to work up some quesadillas and bacon ... we do take requests and are happy to try to accommodate as best we can.

Crew / Pacers / Spectators

This is a great race for racers, crew, pacers, spectators that have only 1 car! No shuttling or drop-offs involved. Everything is centered around the main event site, but the miles are not too repetitive with an 18mile loop!

Please let us know if you plan on having a pacer. While we don't charge for pacers, they do take up some food and water, so we need to plan accordingly. 50K Pacers are allowed to start with their racers at mile 18. The 50 Mile pacers can start with your racer at mile 31 or 36. There are no pacers allowed for the half marathon.

Crews are allowed at both Dam Straight and BaseCamp (NOT at Maraschino) Main Event Aid Station will be clearly marked and crews assisting racers will need to help in the designated area. Dam Straight is just a .25 mile walk from the Main Event, so crews and spectators can meet their racer in this location as well. No vehicles needed.
