Lots of special treats are in store, including our famous collared shirt for 5 Milers and the fabulous food and drink that has always been a staple. Hot dogs, ice cream and other summer treats will be waiting for you after running the challenging and picturesque 5 mile course that wends its way through Bloomfield and Glen Ridge. The stadium finish on the track at Foley Field is always a crowd pleaser.
The Sunset Classic also features a 1 Mile Fun Run and our ever popular Kids' Infield Sprints so bring the entire family as we welcome summer racing at its best. We promise a few surprises, NightMoves DJs and a random prize drawing.
