THE EVENT
Get ready for an excellent 25K marathon prep or our flat, fast 5K. The third annual Steeplechase Distance Run, on October 2, will feature two terrific courses and great runner amenities.
The 25K is set on a scenic country course and features all you would hope for in a marathon prep; mile clocks, energy stations and a challenging test of speed and endurance. The flat and rolling course runs through the scenic neighborhoods and landscapes of Hillsborough and Montgomery Townships. The 5K is a quick loop and very fast.
We’ve also added a 5K Walk, Kids Sprints and still provide terrific amenities including the Steeplechase T-shirt ( long sleeve for the 25K ), DJ, great refreshments, random prizes and our custom race bag.
So, whether you're training for Marine Corps, New York or Philly or just want a fun 5K, Steeplechase is for you. Hillsborough is easy to get to via Routes 78, 287, 22, 202 or 206 and close to all northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania areas.
