Deep in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens is The Rat Race 20K and 10K trail runs. I opted to participate in the 20K version which was two loops around Wells Mills Park in Waretown.
The course was great. There were more than enough ups and downs, twists and turns, foot bridges and obstacles to keep it fun and interesting for the full 12.4 miles.
I even placed third in my age group and was awarded a yellow block of cement shaped as a wedge of cheese for my efforts.
Proceeds from the event go to the Wounded Warriors Project.
Hashers, hard core trail runners, road racers, track & cross country guys and even Mizzoni would have enjoyed the Rat Race.
