Spring Tailgate Pary: This Sunday, April 21st (yes, on Easter) we will be having our spring tailgate party. The run location is the parking lot at 400 Ford Rd., Denville. We start at 9am. There is a 3 mile loop, a 5.5 and an 8 mile loop. The 3 mile loop can be walked. When we get back to the lot is when the party starts. Everyone brings something to eat and/or drink to share with others. Of course champagne and OJ always works well. Bring a chair and have some fun. All are welcome. If you can’t run or walk, stop by and party with us.
