Water will be available and light refreshments will be provided. Support this great event! Even if you can’t attend in person, please consider donating!
This event is part of the MEND 10 Days of 10Ks Challenge to be held between July 11 and 20 by the MEND Hunger Relief Network. The Essex Running Club is proud to be hosting Day 3 of the 10 Day Challenge again this year. MEND focuses on providing fresh and healthy food by supporting a network of over 20 food pantries located in Bloomfield, East Orange, Irvington, Maplewood, Montclair, Newark, Orange, South Orange, and West Orange.
This fun event is open to anyone whether you're looking for an easy / fun workout, in training for a fall marathon, or somewhere in between. Participants in the 10 Days of 10Ks Challenge from other parts of New Jersey will be joining us so please come ready to make new running friends and support them along our Montclair / Bloomfield streets! We are very excited to host them!
