The Sham Rock and a Hard Place 5K takes place on March 22, 2026 at the Passaic County Technical Institute campus on 45 Reinhardt Road in Wayne, New Jersey. The course is described as being on the campus grounds, which is closed to traffic. The terrain is noted to have varying degrees of elevation and is "simply not flat."
