The Squatchy Surprise

The Squatchy Surprise is an exciting endurance event taking place at South Mountain Reservation in West Orange, New Jersey, on July 26, 2025. This unique trail running experience challenges participants to draw colored golf balls to determine which of four loops they will run, adding an element of chance to the competition. Runners can also opt for a mini loop later in the day.

The event supports the non-profit Bigger Than The Trail, which advocates for mental health through trail running. Families are encouraged to participate, with special discounts for kids and various fun activities planned. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
