The Squatchy Surprise
The Squatchy Surprise is a trail running event held on July 24, 2027, at South Mountain Reservation in South Orange Village, New Jersey. The event is inspired by the TommyKnocker Ultra and includes multiple trail race options. The event supports the non-profit partner Bigger Than The Trail.
Race distances offered include:
- 5K
- 13.1 Miles
- 50K
Entry types include a paid entry and a Charity Bib option. The Charity Bib carries a fundraising goal of $300 that must be met three days before the race; if the goal is not met and the participant still wants to attend, the participant must pay the difference to match the applicable event registration fee. A Hardship Entry option is available at no cost for those experiencing financial hardship; after registration organizers will provide a code and allow request for a full or partial scholarship. The organizer also maintains a Squatch Community Fund to accept community donations.
Registration fees for the listed events vary by entry type. The event is presented as a trail-based competition where course placement is influenced by a random draw element described by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
