Logistics, awards and charity

Packet pickup is scheduled the Friday before the race at The Roasted Breadfruit Smokehouse & Grill (400 NJ-15, Wharton). Same-day packet pickup is available at Arthur Stanlick School; participants are advised to allow extra time for parking. A traffic advisory notes a closure on Rt. 80 West that may cause delays near the Rt. 15 exit to Jefferson; leaving Lake Hopatcong to access Rt. 80 is not affected.

Awards include top three male and female overall places, age-group awards across youth and adult categories, best costume, and top fundraisers. The race will support Metavivor Breast Cancer Research and continue a local scholarship fund for Jefferson students in memory of a local resident.
