About the Jonas Cattell Memorial 10-mile Run & Fort Mercer 5K

The ten-miler is a point-to-point course that retraces the route Jonas Cattell ran to warn Fort Mercer of an approaching attack. It starts in Haddonfield and finishes at Red Bank Battlefield, running through terrain that still feels connected to that history. The shorter option is an out-and-back that starts and finishes at the battlefield.

Bus transportation runs from Red Bank Battlefield to the Haddonfield start before the ten-miler begins, which solves the point-to-point logistics without needing a second car. Both races finish at the battlefield, where the awards ceremony is held. There are snacks, water, sports drink, and fruit at the finish tent.

Common Questions About the Jonas Cattell Memorial 10-mile Run & Fort Mercer 5K

Will I finish last at the Jonas Cattell Memorial 10-mile Run & Fort Mercer 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10 Miles field finished slower than 1:27:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:05:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Jonas Cattell Memorial 10-mile Run & Fort Mercer 5K a good first 10 Miles?

It is a small race (99 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 10 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Jonas Cattell Memorial 10-mile Run & Fort Mercer 5K?

The 10 Miles winner ran 53:38 while the median finisher took 1:27:40. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
