Trail Night NJ

Trail Night NJ is a midweek trail event held at South Mountain Reservation in West Orange, NJ. The main offering is a 5K trail race on a described flowing course with a 100-minute cutoff. The event uses a central start and finish area with a DJ, vendors, food trucks, and brand activations so participants can gather before and after their races.

All registered participants receive a Trail Night NJ premium cotton blend tee. The event also features a short kids race that starts and finishes at the same central location; parents may run with children. Giveaways are the same for both the 5K and the kids race.

Awards and an after party take place after the races, with the central hub serving as the location for check-in, awards, and social activities. The format is presented as a simple setup with an emphasis on an approachable course and an on-site atmosphere that supports post-race gatherings.
