Weather & Safety Issues
We all know that the weather in New Jersey is day to day. There may be mud on the course,
there may be rain, it may be muddy, and it may be nice. We will just
have to wait and see what shows up on race day. The race will be run no
matter what the weather!
Schooleys Mountain Park is a multi-use park that can see a lot of foot, bike, horse
and vehicle traffic.
There will be no refunds given and transfers are not allowed
for any reason. We will do what ever we can to hold the event in any
weather conditions. However, Morris County Parks has the final say and
if they feel that the conditions are too inclement to run, they will
cancel the event. Please follow us on Facebook to stay up to date if there is inclement weather
