TOTOWA LIVE 5K & Virtual Challenges 2021

"TOTOWA LIVE"

Totowa Recreation with support of its Mayor and Council has put this small town on the map provided its introduction of an "On Course" and traditional "Run Anywhere" VIRTUAL and LIVE event on November 21ST. 2021

The 3nd Annual TOTOWA 5K Turkey Trot Mayors Walk and Run is back from another running FUN time... there are two (2) virtual events and LIVE options.

whichever event you pick all participants will receive an "Official" Sport-Tec long sleeve T-shirt!

VRACE #1 - Are you local but can't make the Turkey Trot LIVE Event? The TOTOWA 5K COURSE "AT YOUR LEISURE" (ANYTIME Challenge) will will challenge you to run/walk the Totowa 5K Challenge course prior to the LIVE event.

Interested in running the Totowa Challenge 5K course but are not around for the live event... 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 the IPCO (company) driveway. Simply park your car in the Capezio parking lot, 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 of any issues.

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. Simply search 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!
