"This was the 40th Anniversary of the Fred D'Elia Ridgewood Run. Kudos go out to North Jersey Masters for putting on a number of great events on this day. I've lost count of the number of times I have run this race but for the most part it has been one

1st time competing in this race. From the easy to find parking lot right in front of the starting line and race expo area to the well organized volunteers, everything made this race fun and worthwhile. The course was well marked with water at every mile and road condition

Excellent and engaged entertainment and spirit throughout! Great balance of water and Gatorade and GU. Meaningful display of faces of the fallen. Neighborhood feel and support, from little kids with brownies to people lining the streets and sitting on their front porches. Dedicated
