Everybody's 10K

EVERYBODY'S 10K AT LIBERTY STATE PARK

ALL RUNNERS WILL RECEIVE A DRI-FIT CUSTOM RACE SHIRT, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS OF THE RACE, TIMED RESULTS, CUSTOM BIBS, AND MORE!

Join our USATF certified 10K race in beautiful Liberty State Park. This race will be timed and is fast (many participants reported achieving a personal record), but participants will have at least two hours to complete it. There will be two water stations along the course operated by volunteers. At the finish bagels from Wonder Bagels (a local favorite), fruits, Gatorade, and water will be waiting for you.

Sign up for what promises to be another great run in a great park that people from all over the world visit and local runners regard as an oasis. We welcome all levels of runners: first timers, elites, families, masters, etc.; however, given the increase of participants in this race this year and the narrowness of the course, strollers nor dogs can no longer be accommodated. After the run, consider remaining in the park or visiting the Statue of Liberty and/or Ellis Island, which can be accessed directly from the park.

Access to this event should be made from Johnson Avenue to Audrey Zapp Drive down past Freedom Way to the North Cove Field. If one drives, parking is also available on Audrey Zapp Drive down past past Freedom Way on the right side at the Ferry Lot (#8 on Liberty State Park's map); the cost is $7.00.

Bibs can be picked up the day of the race near the start from 6:30am until 7:45am. There will also be a bag check near the start concurrent with the bib pick up; bags will be provided. Runners must be lined up by 7:50am to be ready for the 8:00am start.

We have limited complimentary entries for those unable to pay the entry fee; email jerseycityroadrunners@gmail.com for information.
