7th ANNUAL DOWNTOWN WESTFIELD 5K
...AND PIZZA EXTRAVAGANZA
Over 2000 runners


THE EVENT

Let's see... A warm July night in trendy, upscale Westfield. Add a fast and scenic 5K, a great--and we mean great!--band and an amenities package that can't be beat. Did we forget the pizza? It all adds up to the 7th Annual Downtown Westfield 5K and Pizza Extravaganza.

The fast, slightly modified new course will challenge you, and you'll finish at Elm and Broad streets in the heart of downtown. Come early, stay late, as we entertain and feed you. We'll also throw in some neat surprises.  (Hint--Embroidered hat to first 600 entrants.) We expect 2200 runners in 2008!

Westfield is a snap to find using the Garden State Parkway or Route 22. Pre-registration guarantees a T-shirt to the first 2000 and a cap to the first 600.
