The Caldwell Classic 5K Run/Walk

Event overview

The Caldwell Classic is a memorial community run/walk organized by the Caldwell-West Caldwell Education Foundation (CWCEF) with support from Iron Physical Therapy and the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West Essex. The event includes a timed 5K and an untimed family 1-mile run. The site at James Caldwell High School features a children's activity area with tattoos and coloring pages, a DJ, a fire truck, and sponsor giveaways. Early bib pick-up is available at Iron Physical Therapy, and tentative school pick-up dates are offered at local elementary schools.

Course, entries and awards

Distances:

• 5K (timed)
• 1 Mile (family fun run, not timed)

The 1-mile course is a loop starting and ending at James Caldwell High School; participants complete the loop twice. The 5K route starts and finishes at the high school, travels up Westville Avenue, passes through the park and by a pond, turns back on Brookside, and returns on Westville Avenue. Water stations are provided approximately every mile on the 5K. A children's dash is held for very young children; registration is not required for the dash, but registering for the 1-mile run is needed to receive an event shirt. Awards include top male and female overall finishers, 1st–3rd place in specified age groups (excluding overall winners), and finisher medals for all registered participants.
