Description

Totowa Recreation with support of its Mayor and Council are back again for the 5th Annual TOTOWA LIVE 5K. Come join us "on Course" or for the  traditional "Run Anywhere" VIRTUAL and LIVE events Sunday, November 19th 2023! Virtual options available.

Whichever event you pick all participants will receive the "Official" TC5K Sport-Tec long sleeve T-shirt!

VRACE #1 - Are you local but can't make the LIVE Turkey Trot Event? The TOTOWA 5K COURSE "AT YOUR LEISURE" (ANYTIME Challenge) is setup to allow you to run/walk the Totowa 5K Challenge course prior to the LIVE event… Sound interesting, then listen up! The month leading up to the live event the Borough of Totowa Recreation department will open the course for participant use. It will NOT be a closed course, meaning the streets will be accessible by vehicle traffic. However, the start/finish area will be marked, as will the mile markers. The start finish area is located on Campus Rd at the North end of Ardwyn Binding, 21 Campus Road, formerly IPCO (company) driveway. 

To get started simply park your car in the Capezio parking lot, 1 Campus Road, grab your phone with RunGo installed and take the certified course for a spin. Participants should follow all the rules of the road and alert the Totowa Rec Department 

VRACE #2 - You are not from the area and want to join in the festivities. The TOTOWA 5K VIRTUAL (ANYWHERE Challenge) will allow you to show your support while running a 5K of your own choosing! We invite those outside our area to join us as well. 

Start by simply searching routes using RunGo or run your own course. After submitting your time we'd like to include all newly created RunGo courses to the list below so others in "your neck of the woods" can give it a shot. Simply upload your photo with your story and we'll update our course listings. No better way to make your mark than becoming a part of it! Be the first from your state to post a course!
