Registration opens January 1, 2026. Shirts are available with paid registration through April 16, 2026. Packet pickup occurs on race morning; there is no race day registration this year. The event has a 3 hour cut off. This race does not offer refunds or transfers.
Course and logistics
The course is roughly half park road and half improved trail and is not completely closed to traffic; runners should watch for cars. The 10K is two loops of the 5K, the 15K is three loops, and the 20K is four loops. Water stops are placed on course, including a self-serve stop. Flagging, signs and volunteers will mark the route.
A tower climb is available after finishing. Runners must sign a waiver on race day to climb the tower; climbing is not required to receive an official finish time. Finishers who both run the distances and climb the tower can collect a finisher medal at the top of the tower.
Awards and community
Awards are given to the first three males and first three females in each division. The event benefits OHS Cross Country, and five dollars from every entry is donated to Palisades Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
