Why should you run Our House? Well, besides the great course, long-sleeved Tee, super giveaways and terrific refreshments, we can't think of any good reason. But many of our previous runners will return for the high quality and great fun. And, the MASTERS TEAM JACKPOT offers $2.200 in prize money.

So join us on Sunday, May 5th in picturesque Summit, which is easily accessible by car or train. The Summit Train Station is right at the finish line ( www.njtransit.com ) The Our House 5 Miler: One of New Jersey's finest races.
