Track Night Montclair

Trials of Miles and Fleet Feet Montclair are thrilled to host an evening of racing on the track, in Montclair, New Jersey starting around 4:00pm. This event is designed for every runner in our community - youth athletes, first timers, and seasoned club runners. We’ll be kicking things off with our youth races before moving into a series of open Miles, 4x400m relays, and 5Ks. To help you chase that PR, every heat is seeded by goal time and features pacers to keep you on rhythm. A portion of proceeds, along with all donations from registration, will directly support the Montclair High School Track & Field programs. When you aren’t on the track, check out our local vendor village featuring our great community partners. Come be a part of Montclair’s premier night of competition and community spirit!

Event Location:
Track Night Montclair will take place at:

Woodman Field (part of the Aubrey Lewis Sports Complex)
10 Essex Ave
Montclair, NJ 07042

There is no spectator fee to enter. Friends, family, and community members are welcome to come watch and enjoy the evening.

Parking and Entrance:
Parking is available throughout the neighborhood surrounding Woodman Field and is primarily free street parking.

Please allow yourself a few extra minutes to park and walk over to the venue.

Picking Up Your Bib:
Bib pickup will be available at the track on race day.

Please head to the large black tent located on the infield near the start/finish area to pick up your race packet.

If you are pacing and racing, please grab your race bib first and then check in at the PACER table to receive your pacer assignment.

Race Check-In:
Exactly 15 minutes before your scheduled race time, please report to the RACE CHECK-IN AREA near the starting line of your event. The 1 miles, 400’s, 800’s and 4x400’s will all start near the main finish line area closest to the bleachers. The 5K will start on the opposite end.

Athletes should arrive race ready:
• Racing shoes on
• Bib attached to front of uniform/shirt
• Ready to head directly to staging

Our clerking team will check athletes in and escort groups onto the track prior to each race.

Pacing Targets:
Pacing targets for each section are listed on the heat sheets.

Please remember that pacing is an effort, not an exact science — even great pacers can occasionally be a little fast or slow. There is also always the possibility of last minute changes, so athletes should come prepared to race regardless.

Additional Pacers:
If you finish your race and feel like helping out, please swing by the pacing table and see if we need any last minute pacing support.

Pacers help make Track Night special, and all pacers will receive a free entry to a future Trials of Miles event.

Vendors + Community Partners:
We’ll have a great group of local vendors and partners on site throughout the evening. Make sure to stop by, support them, and check out what they have going on:

• Fleet Feet Montclair
• Athletic Brewing
• Cadence
• Geeks Cupcakes
• Injury Preventer
• True Pediatric Dental Care of Bloomfield
• Sixteenth Notes Music
• Cool Dogs Mamas LLC

Come early, stay after your race, and enjoy everything happening around the track.

Food, Music + Community Atmosphere:
Stick around after your race! We’ll have music, announcers, food, awards, vendors, and a great atmosphere all evening long. Whether you're racing for a PR, pacing a friend, trying track for the first time, or simply coming out to enjoy the community, we’re excited to have you.
