TRI Mountain Lake

Come out and join us for some family fun! This is a timed 5K race through Stroudsburg as we honor Trooper Joshua Miller, PSP #8819. This is a fast and PR friendly course. There are several age categories. If you are not up for a run, then you can just walk the course too. The 5K will take place on June 6, 2026, this year which is the day before Trooper Miller sacrificed his life to save a little boy that has now grown up into a terrific young man. So please consider participating in this event and showing the Miller and PSP family some much appreciated support! There is a separate category for children under 12 to register for free.

BATTLE OF THE BADGES AND THE CADENCE RUN ARE BACK! All law enforcement agencies can participate. The three fastest times for each agency will be used to tally the results. Please register in the law enforcement division if you are a member of law enforcement.

The registration is $30.00 through May 3, 2026, and then increases to $35.00 through June 3, 2026. So please register early for the discounted price. If you register by May 10, 2026 you will receive a dry fit style event shirt. Sorry, we do not offer children's sizes.

If anyone is willing to volunteer to help with this event please contact Shawn Hilbert at 570-656-1602.

Lodestar Park, Newton, NJ

Our 25th year of Xtreme!

X-Treme Youth Running Camp has earned an excellent reputation as one of the region's premier youth running camps. In its 25th year, the Camp is held at bucolic Lodestar Park which offers a host of varying terrains making it the perfect venue to prepare middle and high school kids for their upcoming cross-country season or condition them for whatever fall sport they do!

The Camp runs from Monday, July 27th through Friday, July 31st from 9 am to noon each day of the week and features fantastic motivational guest speakers as well as endurance and speed preparation.

The X-Treme Running Camp experience is something fantastic and unique. The Camp takes full advantage of Lodestar Park's superb training venues. The Camp caters to middle and high school runners, but younger kids with a love of the sport often also attend. We welcome runners of all abilities as well as athletes involved in other sports looking to improve their endurance, speed and overall fitness. Each day includes an endurance session, a speed session (in each, kids are grouped according to their ability) plus a highly acclaimed guest speaker. Our Camp is directed by elite distance running husband and wife team Guy & Laurie Gordon, and all counselors are seasoned adult runners. We motivate with goal-setting, visualization, form analysis, injury prevention, overall core and body strength building, racing techniques and the power to believe in yourself and reach your full potential.

The Coffee Potter is proud to present the 3rd annual Sirens and Sneakers 5K. Sirens and Sneakers will take place at Ort Farms in beautiful and historic Long Valley, New Jersey. Runners will be treated to beautiful views of the valley and mountains while touring an iconic piece of Long Valley history. Sirens and Sneakers aims to raise funds that will provide additional resources and training opportunities to volunteer first responders in Long Valley. This is to include the Long Valley First Aid Squad and Fire Departments.

The Course and Terrain:

Runners should expect to be on mixed terrain due to Ort Farms being an active and working farm. Loose dirt, gravel, grass, and paved roads can all be expected and conditions can vary based on the farm conditions and weather. Sirens and Sneakers is a rain or shine event. Runners should consider the terrain and ensure that it is appropriate for their fitness and skill levels. The course will consist of two laps for a total distance of 5 kilometers. There will be two road crossings per lap. The road crossings will be assisted by the Washington Township Police Department.

Course Certification

The Sterbenz Miles of Smiles 5k is an official, USATF-Certified (code NJ23046JLW) and World Athletics (USA-2023-209) certified course! Extending our course to utilize a portion of the Warren County Technical School and Warren County property nearby, one loop is exactly 2.5km. Runners will complete the loop twice and follow the alternative finish path. CLICK HERE to see the map of the course with details.

About the Event

The inaugural event, called the Sterbenz Run for Abilities, was created by Paul and James Sterbenz in 2020 as a response to the COVID pandemic and a desire to replace cancelled running events while raising needed funds for Abilities of Northwest Jersey Inc. Completing the 27 mile “marathon” from Alexandria Township to Lambertville, NJ on a sultry June morning, Paul and James crossed the finish line and successfully raised nearly $12,000! The Sterbenz Miles of Smiles was created in 2022 and expanded to include participants of all abilities- runners, walkers, rollers, strollers and even those with four legs!
