Inaugural Saddle River Run 15k

 

November 15th, 2009
Sunday morning at 9:30am
Saddle River County Park, Ridgewood NJ (the Wild Duck Pond)
 

Back in September, we found out about the cancellation of the popular Swamp Devil 15k race in Basking Ridge (due to bridge construction on the course). Within a week, several local running clubs joined together and collaborated on putting on a new race, hence the Innaugural Saddle River Run 15k was created.

It was perfect running weather with over 400 entries and 374 crossing the finish line. A remarkable number considering this race was only created 7 weeks ago. We thank Pam Fales, Jane Parks, and the rest of the support team for putting together this race. We're looking forward to a better and bigger race next year.
