The club shares a close relationship with Fleet Feet Montclair (603 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair) supporting the local running community and promoting good health and fitness.

NEWS UPDATE:
ERC Exclusive Shopping Event: Fleet Feet would like to thank everyone who came out to the shopping event on Sun, July 27. It was so nice to see everyone and we appreciate all the continued support from the ERC community.
A Fire in our Building - Here's What You Need to Know: On Tuesday afternoon, a fire broke out in a neighboring business within our building. Thanks to the swift response from Montclair’s incredible fire department — along with teams from Bloomfield, East Orange, West Orange, Clifton and Caldwell — the fire was contained quickly and, most importantly, no one was hurt.
While the fire itself was isolated to one retail space, our store has sustained smoke damage and inventory loss. At this time, we are in a holding pattern as we work through insurance, cleanup, and restoration. As a result, Fleet Feet Montclair will remain closed until further notice.
We’re heartbroken to pause operations but we’re committed to reopening as soon as it’s safe and responsible to do so. Fleet Feet Montclair has been family-owned and operated for nearly four decades, and we’ve weathered storms before!
We’ll be sharing updates on our reopening timeline and any ways we can support you in the meantime through our social media and email.

Weekly Group Runs:
Thursday Night Fun Run / Walk: Meet up at Fleet Feet at 6pm. Friendly social group for walkers or runners and a great way to meet new friends. Bring family, friends, co-workers or come alone. All paces are welcome and you can run or walk as little or as much mileage as you want. Most people start out on a 3 mile route down Midland Ave with a loop around Edgemont Park but you can turn around sooner if you want a shorter walk / run. Some people also extend the run up to 6 miles with a second loop on North Mountain, Watching and Midland Ave. Route maps are available here.
Sunday Morning Group Run: Meet up at Fleet Feet at 7am. All paces and distances welcome. Popular with people training for longer distance events especially during the summer and fall. Various distances and paces through the streets of Montclair to Edgemont Park, Anderson Park and Brookdale Park including popular routes of 3, 5, 7 and 8.5 miles. Route maps are available on the Running Routes page on the ERC web site. These meet-ups are not usually guided by Fleet Feet staff but there are Supported Long Runs on some Sunday mornings in the spring, summer and fall with aid stations at Fleet Feet and Anderson Park.
