Livingston Miles for Meaning 5K: Run for Your Neighbor

We will be providing two mini buses with 14 seats to and from the Jersey City Half Marathon and Marathon departing from Fleet Feet Montclair (603 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair) between 5:00 and 5:15am. They will drop runners off near the start / finish area in Jersey City by 6:00am. Plan to arrive early so you have plenty of time to park and get to the buses no later than 5:10am. We will start checking people in and loading the buses at 5:00am so each bus can leave as soon as it is full.

For the return trip, we will let you know where the buses will be parked or where it will pick you up. We expect them to start leaving from Jersey City at 10:00am with each bus leaving as soon as it is full. This will limit the wait time for a bus whether you are running the marathon or half marathon and whether you are a fast or slow runner. Please make sure to let us know at check-in if you are not planning to take the bus back so we don't end up waiting for you. Roundtrip fares only. Runners and spectators are welcome to join us.

Book your reservation early to be sure of a seat. Registration will close when we reach capacity. The cost is $40 for members of the Essex Running Club or their immediate family or $50 non members. There will be NO REFUNDS (unless the race is canceled). Visit www.essexrunning.com/join-us/ for information on how to become a member of the Essex Running Club and to be eligible for the lower price for club members.
