Ramsey, NJ
Entry is $25 now and rises to $30 after Aug 7, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The race is named for a man who spent decades building recreation in Ramsey, and it starts and finishes at Finch Park, which still bears his mark. Both the shorter and longer distance options are USATF certified, so the courses are measured accurately. Beyond that, the route maps are available but say little about terrain or surroundings.

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 54:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:23:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (73 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 10K winner ran 35:36 while the median finisher took 54:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
