Wawayanda Trail Fest : Apr 25, 2026, Hewitt, NJ
Wawayanda Trail Fest takes place at Wawayanda State Park Boat Launch in Hewitt, New Jersey. The event offers multiple trail distances:
- 100K
- 50 Mile
- 50K
- Half Marathon
The event uses a full loop of just over 26 miles as the primary course unit. The course includes single track, gravel road, rhododendron tunnels, marsh bridges, and has only two road crossings, both inside the park. Course routing information and GPS files are available through the event's route collection.
Logistics, aid, crew and awards
There are three aid stations: Maraschino, BaseCamp, and Thirsty Dog (water only). The Half Marathon visits Maraschino once. The 50K visits four aid stations. The 50 Mile and 100K visit multiple aid stations as they repeat the full loop. Maraschino does not allow crews, spectators, or drop bags. BaseCamp is adjacent to the start/finish and parking area and is the designated location for crews and pacers.
Pacers are not allowed for the half marathon. Pacer start points are defined by mile for the 50K, 50 Mile, and 100K. Parking and the start/finish are at the boat ramp/boathouse parking lot; entrants should use the east park entrance on Warwick Turnpike. Onsite camping is offered Friday night for a $10 per group fee. Every finisher receives a finisher award; top three awards are given for Non-Binary, Female, and Male categories in each distance.
