About the Miles For Smiles: 3.1 for 31
The race takes place at Saddle River County Park, using the Wild Duck Pond area in Ridgewood. The park setting means natural surroundings rather than road pavement, and the distance is short enough that slower joggers and walkers fit comfortably alongside faster runners.
The morning has a lot going on beyond the race itself. Goat cuddles, bounce houses, pumpkin painting, and trick-or-treating are all part of it, and there is food on site. It benefits a children's cancer foundation, and the park-fair atmosphere reflects that.
