3/29 Morris County Empanada Trail Run

On Sunday, March 29, 2026, runners are invited to lace up their shoes and explore the scenic trails of Morris County at Central Park of Morris County. This exciting race offers both 5K and 10K distances through a varied course featuring dirt paths, grassy sections, gravel roads, and rolling hills that challenge even seasoned athletes.
Participants will start early in the morning with packet pickup available on Saturday from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Fleet Feet Morristown. Race day packet pick-up is also an option for those who prefer a quick stop before hitting the trails, and it’s available from 8:30 AM until 9:30 AM sharp.
Race organizers recommend arriving early due to potential parking congestion; dressing appropriately for weather conditions is crucial as well. Pinning your bib beforehand ensures you won’t miss out on timing or results, which are essential for competitive runners aiming to secure top spots in the overall male and female categories or within their age groups.
The race day atmosphere will be vibrant with live music, a post-race celebration featuring unique finisher medals, and delicious empanadas offered at the event village. Vegetarian options ensure that all participants can enjoy this culinary treat.

Proceeds from the event will help fund critical research aimed at improving treatments for children with rheumatic conditions and supporting their families through this challenging journey.
