Squatchy Leftovers
Squatchy Leftovers takes place on November 28, 2026 at the South Mountain Reservation in West Orange, NJ. The event uses a 5K loop course at the Turtleback Rock Picnic Area off Walker Road and offers multiple distance options across repeated loops.
- 50K 10 loops, ~2,890 ft elevation gain
- 25K 5 loops, ~1,445 ft elevation gain
- 10K 2 loops, ~578 ft elevation gain
- 5K 1 loop, ~289 ft elevation gain
- Kids 1M one mile for ages 3 to 12
The 5K loop combines hard packed carriage roads and technical singletrack with rocks and roots. The first mile is a wide dirt trail with a very rocky half mile descent, there is a 100 ft climb near mile 2.5, and the final mile is singletrack. Portajohns are available at the start finish area. Trekking poles are allowed.
Aid station supplies are located at the start finish and are available every loop; offerings include hot food, snacks, water and Skratch Hydration plus a variety of gluten free and vegan options. Squatch HQ houses a first aid kit and AED, private changing tents, and a quiet Jackalope Tent for breaks and breastfeeding. The course will be marked with neon pink reflective ribbon and large red directional arrows.
The event is capped at 400 participants across all distances and typically sells out by early November. Bigger Than The Trail is the charity partner; charity bibs require raising or donating $350 with a late November deadline. There are no refunds; limited deferral options are available under specified conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
