Run Festival at Weequahic Park

The March Madness Half Marathon, 10K, 5K is a multi-distance running event held in Weequahic Park, located in Essex County, Newark. The course primarily utilizes well-maintained paved paths, a significant portion of which consists of a rubber track surface. The route takes participants through wooded sections and along the edge of a lake.

Participants can choose from three distinct distances:

  • Half Marathon
  • 10K
  • 5K

The event provides full athlete support through three managed stations offering water, Gatorade, and gels. The course layout is designed to allow spectators to provide encouragement multiple times as runners pass the start and finish area as well as the turnaround points.

Technological features of the race include live timing and tracking, which allows progress to be viewed on a digital map. The finish line is live-streamed, and the event includes photography and finisher videos. All participants receive a technical t-shirt and a finisher medal. Following the conclusion of the races, an awards ceremony is held featuring music and refreshments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
