The Montclair Mile
The Montclair Mile is a one-day community running event held in Montclair, New Jersey at 101 Walnut Street. The event is in its third year and features multiple mile heats, a kids 800 m dash, and a team relay. Organizers schedule back-to-back heats that include open and seeded racing, a stroller mile, and a dog-friendly Paws & Pavement mile.
Race formats and participant notes:
- 1 mile events in several heats, including open, stroller, and pet-friendly options.
- 800 m kids dash (listed as 1/2 mile, one loop).
- 4x800 m team relay for four runners per team.
Registration windows vary by event. Most individual heats open registration on April 6, 2026 and close on April 9, 2026; the 4x800 m team relay has a later registration close on July 23, 2026. Typical entry fees listed include $35 for many mile heats, $22 for the kids dash, and $10 for the team relay.
