We hold our 5K race rain or snow or shine on our challenging USATF certified course through beautiful Long Valley, NJ.

You can check out photos of our prior races using #SMNYD5K on Facebook and Instagram.
We look forward to having you join us for this cherished community tradition that lets you kick off your new year with the joy and optimism of running! As always, we very much appreciate your participation and look forward to having you join us!
