Crossroads Half Marathon - Metuchen, NJ
The Crossroads Half Marathon is the seventh running of this event, scheduled for April 12, 2026 in Metuchen, New Jersey. The race is hosted by Crossroads Running Club and is contested over the half marathon distance of 13.1 miles. Registration fees range from $14.99 to $20.26, with an early bird period and a later price window that closes when capacity is reached. There is no race day registration.
The course runs on the Middlesex Greenway, a paved, tree-lined rail trail on a historic portion of the Lehigh Valley corridor that passes through Metuchen, Edison, and Woodbridge. The Greenway is described as 3.6 miles long and 10 feet wide; the race course will be marked and a course map will be posted in the start area. Timing is provided by Compuscore. The race cutoff requires completion of the 13.1 miles within three hours, roughly a 13:40 minutes per mile pace.
Support includes water at the start/finish area and near miles 2.9 and 4.3, plus refreshments at the start/finish. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and all finishers receive a medal. Free parking and portable toilets are available on site. Several crossing points on the Greenway are open to vehicular traffic, including Middlesex CR-514. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
