Event for 2027 has not been confirmed yet… An XTERRA Trail Run Series Event, XTERRA New Jersey 2027 is set in the majestic Wawayanda State Park, just 50 miles from New York City, and comprised of 34,350 acres, 40-plus miles of trails and a crystal clear lake, providing the ideal setting for an XTERRA off-road event. The race is organized in partnership with Ready Set Go Adventures, and Strambecco rates the event as one of the Best Trail Running Races and Events in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The Marathon and Half Marathon trail runs are held on a rolling 13-mile loop within Wawayanda State Park. The Half Marathon loop (which will be run 2x for the Marathon) starts with the Gravel loop that will be featured in Sunday’s Multisport events and then feeds directly into the 10K loop. The 10K loop will run along portions of majestic Wawayanda Lake for absolutely spectacular views. The course is rolling hills, and the first 3 miles of the 10K are packed dirt with some rocks and roots before heading into 2.2 miles of rocky goodness with some more technical trails and then finishing on fire road and lakeside sand. XTERRA New Jersey Marathon and Half Marathon Trail Run participants will compete for 56 qualifying XTERRA Trail Run World Championship spots.

The XTERRA Trail Run World Series is an inclusive series that invites all trail enthusiasts to join the XTERRA community with over 30 races in 20+ countries across Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region. XNJ Trail Runs are XTERRA Trail Run World Series events with 232 qualifying slots for the Xtrerra Trail World Championships held Sept /Oct at the Sugarloaf Resort in Maine.

The event is joint-produced by Ready Set Go Adventures, a regional event producer dedicated to creating fantastic race experiences spanning gravel, MTB, trail running, and triathlons. The XTERRA New Jersey trail run is also part of the Way Over Yonder Trail Run Series, which includes the April Jungle Escape Runs and June Transcend Trail Runs.
