The race route includes the East Jersey Old Town Village, a collection of 1700's and 1800's buildings on the banks of the Raritan River.
The RevolutionNJ Race Series draws inspiration from Jonas Cattell’s legendary run to warn American troops of a British attack at Red Bank Battlefield. This race is one of six in the series, with additional events planned at various Revolutionary Historic sites throughout New Jersey.
