    We’ve been trying to host this race for free but unfortunately we are unable to continue to do so. We’ve encountered too many no-shows and last-minute dropouts which raise our costs substantially and unnecessarily. We could never thank our sponsors and volunteers enough for all their help over the past couple of years. 

    Course Description:
    The course runs on the Middlesex Greenway, a picturesque open space resource within the communities of Metuchen, Edison, and Woodbridge. Situated on a historic portion of Lehigh Valley rail corridor. It is a 3.6 mile long and 10-foot wide, paved asphalt tree-lined trail. The course will be marked. We will also have a copy of the course map posted in the Start area.

    Schedule of events:
     7:50 am National Anthem
    7:55 Pre-race instructions
    8:00 am Start of Crossroads Half Marathon

    Timing:
    Timing will be provided by Compuscore, a premier race timer in the area. 

    Race Cutoff time:
    You must complete the 13.1 miles in 3 hours, or approximately 13:40 minutes per mile.

    Course Support:
    Water will be available at the Start/Finish area and around miles 2.9 and 4.3. Water and Refreshments will be available in the Start / Finish area.

    Awards: Top 3 Overall Male and Top 3 Overall Female.  Finisher's Medal to all the runners.

    Free parking and Portable Toilets are available on-site.

    Misc. Info:
    The Middlesex Greenway is free of vehicular traffic and the use of headphones is permitted. However, several crossing points are open to vehicular traffic, including the Middlesex CR-514. Always be aware of your surroundings. If you have COVID-19 or any variants of COVID or related symptoms, please be considerate to others and STAY HOME. 

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.

ALWAYS visit the race's website for the most complete and accurate race information.
