SMR Mayapple Trail Runs

Runners are invited to register for the 16th Mayapple Trail Runs to be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025 in beautiful South Mountain Reservation in Essex County, N.J. The races are organized by the volunteers of the South Mountain Conservancy (SMC) with the support of the Essex County Parks Department. The USA Track and Field sanctioned races provide an informal but supportive trail race environment for runners who are up to the challenge of completing our 5, 10 or 20-mile distances, or ultra-marathon routes of 50 kilometers (31 miles) and 50 miles. We are also continuing the more informal, untimed 1-mile race for children 12 and under.
