Event Overview
The Hanover Education Foundation's Run for Health takes place in Whippany, featuring a timed road race and a community walk. The event starts and finishes at Whippany Park High School, utilizing the school's facilities for logistics. Participants can choose between two primary distances:
- 5K Run for Health (3.1 miles)
- One-Mile Fun-Walk
The 5K course is a USATF-sanctioned route that guides runners through the neighboring residential areas. To support participants during the race, water stations and timers are positioned along the route. The One-Mile Fun-Walk follows a shorter path, with walkers beginning and ending at the official 5K finish line.
