Still one of my top 5 favorite 5K races. Well organized run on a beautiful course. Digital mile time clocks were spot on. Beer, (limit two beers) watermelon, pretzels at the finish line. If you registered early enough you had your name on your race bib. I like that.

I try to run this 5K every year. I consider it a good motivational race for the upcoming new year. A very popular race with local running clubs. Clifton Roadrunners, North Jersey Masters and the DeNovo Harriers were all there. Late 11:00 am start works well for New year's Eve party

I actually did the Aloha Readiness Series races a few different years. These are very basic and done very cheaply ("bring your own toilet paper" cheap and yes, there is a story to go with that!) But their intention is to help you train for a longer race and
