Wawayanda Trail Fest
The Wawayanda Trail Fest, held in Hewitt, New Jersey, is a spring trail running event featuring distances of 100K, 50 miles, 50K, and a half marathon. The course offers a scenic 26+ mile loop through Northern Jersey's hills, including rhododendron tunnels, marsh bridges, gravel roads, and single-track trails, with only two road crossings inside the park. Aid stations provide a variety of food and hydration options, including vegan and gluten-free choices.
The event is crew- and pacer-friendly, with centralized start/finish and aid stations at Wawayanda State Park's boat launch. Camping is available onsite, and all finishers receive awards. The race emphasizes community and volunteer involvement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
