About the NJROTC Fleet Feet John Paul Jones (JPJ) 5K
The race starts in a school parking lot near the NJROTC building, and the proceeds go directly toward cadet activities, travel, and competitions. It draws a range of paces and runs as a straightforward point-to-point or loop course through the area around the school, though the exact terrain is modest and suits most runners.
Awards go out by age division, with separate categories for men and women, and the top overall finishers take home trophies. The start area is the Junior Academy parking lot, which gives you a clear staging point with the NJROTC building right there as a landmark.
