About this race
About Trail Fest:
FEAR Trail Fest is a 5 mile lollipop loop trail race in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, NJ. The course is run mostly on the Yellow Trail in Lewis Morris Park. It’s a runnable course with a mix of rocks, roots, and some good climbs totaling around 600 feet of elevation gain. The course starts with a wide section of crushed gravel on the Patriots Path before moving to single track for the full Yellow Trail loop before traversing the short section of the Patriots Path again back to the finish. The course is meant to attract runners looking to tackle their first trail race, or an experienced veteran on the trails looking to have a fun and race fast! Hikers are welcome too, with a generous 2:30 hour time limit.
Additionally, we will host course previews (dates TBD) on the race course so you can familiarize yourself with everything ahead of time. These course previews are free and will be educational and informative if you’ve never run trails before or have never been to Lewis Morris Park.
Sustainability:
Trail Fest is going cupless! Hydrapak will be providing reusable cups for runners to be used before, during, and after the race for all your electrolyte needs.
