• The 1 Mile Fun Run course consists of two loops around Heritage Park. All finishers receive a medal upon completion of the course. This course is entirely in the park and not on the roads.
• The 5K is suitable for anyone from a recreational walker to an elite competitor. It is a flat and fast chip-timed, USATF certified course through the beautiful shaded parks and neighborhoods of Cranbury. There is a water station that is passed twice during the race. 
• The roads will be closed during the race but please stay on the course and exercise common sense. 
• Walkers are welcome and strollers are welcome! We ask that you start all the way in the back of the pack if you plan to walk. The average 5K finish time is around 28:00. For the 5K, please line up in the back half of the pack if you plan on starting at a pace of 9:00/mile or slower. Please reserve the front row for those starting at a pace of 6:00/mile or faster. For the 1 Mile Fun Run, there are no lineup restrictions.
