27th Annual RVRR D&R Canal Towpath "Train"ing Run

Join us for the 27th Annual Towpath “Train”ing Run on National Trails Day! 🌲 This non-competitive group run supports The Rutgers Cancer Institute, with a $0.50 donation for every mile you run or walk. In 2025, we raised over $4,000, thanks to our generous participants and donors! ❤️

This isn't just another run; Health Line Media recognized our “Train”ing Run as one of the “10 Best Marathons in the Northeast.” Whether you choose to run part or all of the 34.6 miles along the scenic D&R Towpath, we will be there to support you!

Event Highlights:

• Group Runs: Start in Trenton and run your pace towards Grove 4 in Johnson Park. We’ll have scheduled stops along the way to pick up fellow runners and walkers! 🚏
• Refreshments: Enjoy snacks, water, Gatorade, and support along the trail. Come together with fellow participants as we finish at Johnson Park—a truly rewarding experience! 🎉
• Picnic Celebration: After the run, indulge in a generous picnic with hot and cold food, beer, sangria, and soft drinks! 🍔🥤
• Transportation: Bus transportation from Grove 4 to starting points, along with your registration fee, covers all costs! 🚌
