SUMMER SOLSTICE TRAIL RUN FOR CLEAN WATER 

Join us for our 10th annual Solstice Trail Run on Thursday, June 20.  Run or walk on our beautiful trails on the longest day of the year, then join us for a post-race party with Antimo's pizza slices and beer and wine for sale.  Complimentary S'Mores around the firepit and snacks for the runners.  Registration opens at 4:30 with a 5:30 p.m. start time for the 15K, 6:00 p.m. start time for the 10K and 6:15 p.m. start time for the 5K.  Our post-race beer sponsor is Old Hights Brewing Company from Hightstown, New Jersey.

This year our giveaway is a collapsible reusable cup to use during the race or bring your own reusable water bottle. Kindly do not bring single use plastic water bottles.  

Sorry, no dogs allowed at this event. 

VERY IMPORTANT - No unattended children are allowed.  Please plan accordingly so that you have someone looking over your kids while running.

Carpooling is encouraged to reduce carbon footprint and due to parking capacity.  Overflow parking will be located by the field and by the farm on Wargo Road.  These locations are marked on the map and signs will mark locations. 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is a trail run.  Expect to run on uneven terrain with exposed roots and rocks.  If there is heavy rain before the event, expect the course to be muddy and plan accordingly.  Bring a change of shoes and clothes.  There are indoor bathrooms to change.

We all need clean water. The Watershed Institute works to keep water clean, safe and healthy through conservation, advocacy, science and education.  The Solstice Trail Run raises critical funds for our mission. Our goal is to raise $30,000 for the event.
