5k thru marathons for runners
2-mile fun run/walk
We are a 5k race and 2-mile fun run located in Roseland.
Over our first nine years we have donated $326,000 to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. We chose this organization based on its sole focus on research AND because every dollar donated goes toward that research. Funded by the three founding families who were unhappy with the progress of research to slow, stop or reverse the disease, they started their own organization. Their mission is finding a cure; they hold no interest in patents or ownership of that cure. All who receive grants from them must share all information discovered.
“Running 4 Answers, a race against Alzheimer’s” came to be because my mom had Alzheimer’s. Unable to find a race benefitting the research of the disease, I started one with my friend, Barbara Geiger. Together we have worked to host an event with three goals: 1) increase awareness of and money for Alzheimer’s disease 2) manage a great race and 3) create a fun community event.

Choose between a mellow 10-miler, a gnarly 20-miler, and a super gnarly 50k run. The terrain ranges from single track to wider trails with rocks, roots and a few climbs but nothing that would be regrettable. Tito’s Burritos & Wings will be providing excellent post-race eats as you hang with fellow runners, family, friends and 94.7 NASH FM!!! We know you’ll have a rippin’ time! Participants will receive super awesome race shirts as well as unique finisher swag to be determined soon! Aid stations will be stocked with all of your favorite trail goodies and Gatorade Endurance will be the official hydration sponsor! Free parking directly across the street in the train station or Library Lots! . . . . . . . . . . .
As always bring a change of clothes so you can comfortably chill out in the Tito’s recovery tent that will be filled with all of the sticks, rollers and recovery devices to make the next day more manageable. We continue to add awesome benefits to each of the races and the latest is the addition of Lee Allibone the owner of A Touch Of Lime Therapeutic Massage who will be waiting for you under the Tito’s recovery tent to get the knots out!!! Once again JackRabbit of Summit will sponsor the race and provide shoes to the 1st place man and woman of the 50K race!!! . . . . . . . . . .
The race begins and ends across the street from the Millburn train station. Friends and family may visit the Turtle Back Zoo at South Mountain, explore downtown Millburn, and enjoy the nearby Regatta Playground in West Orange, while you navigate the course or afterwards.
Get stoked to hit the trails of South Mountain Reservation with its diverse terrain, variety of wildlife, a waterfall, bridges, and close proximity to New York City. Our love for running scenic and challenging trails followed by some tasty tacos has led us to share this experience with you.
