13.1 Miles 3.95 Miles Run Trail Ultra

It’s gonna be a mess — in the best way possible. The Hot Mess Trail Races take place at Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove, NJ, offering two awesome options: a classic half marathon and a choose-your-own-adventure-style 6 hour ultra. Whether you're here to push your pace or your time on feet, this race is all about trails, community, and getting a little dirty in the woods.

The course starts and finishes at Danna Farm Fields, using a mostly flat and fast lollipop-style loop. Expect 95% trail, with just a bit of pavement to mix things up. You’ll get a little bit of everything: twisty single-track, sand, and roots — all in a beginner-friendly format.

Half Marathon: You'll head out from the start, complete two full loops of the lollipop, and return to the finish. There’s an aid station around miles 3.5 and 8.5.

6 Hour: You’ll run as many laps as you can (or want) on a 4-mile loop, returning to the pit after every lap to refuel. The only aid station is at the start/finish area.

Parvin State Park is a carry-in, carry-out park, meaning this will be a cupless race and all trash is only to be disposed at the start/finish line - DO NOT LITTER. All runners MUST carry their own cup.

This ultimate trail party is brought to you by a collaboration between Endless Endurance and Second Capital Running!

    The Vineland Youth Running Club (VYRC) is for children in the Greater Vineland Area ages 7-14 interested in recreational and competitive running.

    No experience is necessary, but like any sport, your child must be willing to listen, learn, and commit to putting in the work required to develop the proper skills. The mile is our chosen benchmark for progress and we believe that if a kid can get to the point of being able to run 1 mile consistently and comfortably, they can progress relatively quickly from there in both speed and endurance if they choose to. Starting with the very first day of club and every day after that, your child will run/walk at least a mile (excluding meets).

    Practices will be on Monday and Wednesday nights 5:30-6:30 pm, along with 5 meets in place of practice on Wednesday nights. Information on additional competitive events will be provided as we learn more.

    Spring: April 20-June 10 Fall: September 21-October 28

    Individual Spring/Fall Membership: $75 Full Year Membership: $120
