About the Cranford Santa Run 12/5 10:15 am
The course runs along roads and paved trails and is mostly flat, which keeps the pace honest without any real climbing to worry about. Nearly everyone shows up in Santa costume, so the field looks more like a holiday parade than a typical road race. Donuts are waiting at the finish line, and the entry fees go to families dealing with cancer.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at Fleet Feet in Summit, with race-morning pickup available on site. Parking on site fills fast, so most runners head across the street to Union County Community College instead.
