Saddle Up Fall Challenge 2026 : Rochelle Park, NJ
The Saddle Up Fall Challenge takes place at Saddle River County Park (152 Howard Ave, Rochelle Park, NJ). The event uses a partially shaded, flat paved path that runs along the river and is organized as a 2-mile loop. Participants have up to 10 hours to run or walk the loop as many times as they wish and may choose their own start time and distance during the event day. Timing is provided to record each participant's elapsed time and number of loops.
On-course support includes a fully stocked aid station near the start and finish area with water, sports drink, gels or similar snacks, and an additional fluids-only aid station near the halfway point. Participants are encouraged to bring a personal hydration container for refills.
Finish recognition is awarded as follows: a finisher medal for anyone who completes at least one loop; individual medals for 5K, 10K, 13.1 mi, and 26.2 mi finishers; and plaques for 50K, 60K, and 50 mi finishers.
