About the Racefaster Half Marathon
Racefaster, a Bergen County running store, built this race as a September goal half for North Jersey runners who want a fast local course without a big-city entry. The store also sells a combined entry that pairs the race with its half marathon training program.
Course
The route starts and finishes near Garden State Plaza, then follows the paved Saddle River County Park paths along the river. It is flat, closed to car traffic, and simple to pace, though the path narrows in places, so settling into position early helps.
Race-day weather
Mid September mornings in Bergen County are usually mild, and summer humidity is often starting to fade. Tree cover along the river path softens the sun, but the closing miles can still feel warm on a bright day.
