The temp range on average is 50° / 29°F, so runners can expect top performances and can better prepare for the up and coming monsoon months.
​
The course has been USATF certified, #NJ23041JLW, and it is fast and flat. If you are going to attempt to set a new state or national record, please let us know ahead of time to ensure your performance can be certified.
Top three male and female performances in each race will receive a custom wall plaque. All participants will receive a tech race shirt.
​
All the typical ultra favorites and some atypical nosh from the sponsors will be available at the aid station and athletes are never more than a half a mile from help. Race bibs must be worn on the front of the runner.
​
This event was approved by the Livingston Town Council at its June 2023 meeting. Because the Oval is a public space, littering of any kind may result in disqualification.
