Description

Join us on either April 23rd (Saturday) for either a 5 or 10-mile distance through Lewis Morris Park right outside Morristown, NJ. Expect well-maintained trails with moderate elevation gain. Half of the trails are single track while the rest are wide enough for anyone to pass.
The course is not technical but does expect moderate uphills and steep downhills with a fun switch back you get to BOMB downhill.
10 mile participants will complete the 5 mile loop twice.

Who is MissionCleanWater?

MissionCleanWater is a 501c3 nonprofit organization working to bring clean drinking water and sanitation to underserved communities both domestically and internationally.
We focus on the fact that 60% of all clean water projects in Africa have failed and that our communities in our NJ backyard are without clean water. We work every day on the ground with communities to develop a solution together. Through community relationship building, training, and long-term involvement, we want to fully maximize the investment in clean water and bring out its full potential.

Our team has been involved with the trail running community both as a hobby and professionally. We want to develop new race experiences that challenge runners to be more engaged, think on their feet, and work together. From these races, registration will act as a donation going towards our clean water efforts.
