About the Montclair Art Museum President's Day 5K
The course starts at the Montclair Art Museum and rolls through the surrounding streets. It is certified and timed, and the organizers describe it as quick despite the hills, so expect some movement underfoot rather than a flat loop. The museum building itself makes for a distinctive start and finish area.
Packet pickup runs the day before at Fleet Feet Montclair, a local running store a short distance from the museum. Race-morning pickup opens early on-site at the museum before the start. There is also a Fastest Couple award for pairs who register together under groups, which gives the morning a bit of a Valentine's Day feel.
