About the Croissant & Cafe 5K Run & Walk
The course runs through Overpeck Park on paved paths, and the organizers describe it as fast. That matches what you'd expect from a park route: mostly flat, open, and easy to navigate. The race benefits a local woman's medical care, which gives the morning a particular weight beyond the run itself.
The finish has coffee and croissants waiting, which is exactly what the name promises. That post-race spread is the character of this event as much as the course is.
