The SAX 4 Miler

The 2026 Morristown Corporate Classic is arriving in Morristown! New Jersey’s premier corporate fitness event brings together coworkers, friends, and individual runners for an energizing 3.1-mile celebration of community and camaraderie.

Whether you’re forming a corporate running team, signing up as an individual competitor, jogging for fun, or taking on the course with a brisk walk, this event truly is for everyone. It’s a race for New Jersey’s competitive runners, a team-building experience for corporate groups, and a fun run for participants of all ages and fitness levels.

Most importantly, your participation supports JBWS, helping provide safety, support, and hope to survivors of domestic violence in our community.

Join us in Morristown and be part of the movement.

"Go Gold" with Gracie's Army Foundation! September is National Pediatric Awareness Month and we would love nothing more than to show our support to families in the battle of their lives. We will have a beautiful and scenic USATF-NJ sanctioned course set up for a 5K, 1 mile Fun Run/Walk, and a 40 yard dash. Come and support this beautiful community event in Montville Township. The race will start at the Montville Township High School track and go through neighborhoods ultimately finishing back at the track.

Participating in fundraisers like a 5K is a great way to show a childhood cancer hero your support and raise critical funds for research, empower people to give back, and show support for families who need it the most!

We are working with major corporate sponsorships and are projecting at least 500+ runners. Enjoy food trucks, local vendors, and awards given out to cancer survivors and race winners.

About Trail Fest:

FEAR Trail Fest is a 5 mile lollipop loop trail race in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, NJ. The course is run mostly on the Yellow Trail in Lewis Morris Park. It’s a runnable course with a mix of rocks, roots, and some good climbs totaling around 600 feet of elevation gain. The course starts with a wide section on the Patriots Path before moving to single track for the full Yellow Trail loop before traversing the short section of the Patriots Path again back to the finish. The course is meant to attract runners looking to tackle their first trail race, or an experienced veteran on the trails looking to have a fun and fast race! Hikers are welcome too, with a generous 2:30 hour time limit.

Additionally, we will host course previews (see dates below) on the actual course so no one needs to go into the race blindly. These course previews are free and will be educational and informative if you’ve never run trails before or have never been to Lewis Morris Park.

Sustainability:

Trail Fest is going cupless! Hydrapak will be providing reusable cups for runners to be used before, during, and after the race for all their electrolyte needs.

Additionally, we are ditching traditional PVC-made race bibs and going with hemp bibs. These are much more environmentally friendly versus old traditional bibs.

Logistics:

Who: Everyone’s invited (but limited to 120 runners)! New trail runners, experienced trail runners and hikers. We’ll even adopt road runners for the day!

What: A 5 mile trail race (route below)!

Where: Lewis Morris Park Sunrise Lake Dr., Morristown, NJ 07690. Once you get to this road, keep driving until you see the lot.
