DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO
This trail party starts and finishes in Cedar Grove Park, across the street from the Robert J. O'Toole Community Center in Cedar Grove. Once that parking lot fills up, overflow will be directed to the Verona Community Pool, half a mile from the start/finish. There are portajohns in the community center parking lot,
The Squatchy Solstice 5K is a scenic tour of the Hilltop Reservation that highlights the Second Watchung Mountain in Essex County, NJ. The preserved ridgeline is composed of lands formerly included in the grounds of the Essex Mountain Sanatorium, a hospital originally constructed in the early 1900s. This is not a flat course and is mostly hilly (hence the name Hilltop!) singletracks with rocks and roots. There is about 320 ft of elevation gain with most of it in the first mile! We will provide a detailed trail conditions report leading up to the race and include any recommendations for winter traction (spikes). Trekking poles are allowed at all of our events. We always have a fully stocked first aid kit and AED at Squatch HQ. Our first aid kit includes menstrual products and wipes.

Q: What's the weather like in Cedar Grove, NJ in December?
A: Temps will likely be cold and in the 30's. NJ has been having very mild winters so it is unlikely that there will be a lot of snow, if any. We will send out a trail conditions report the week of the Trail Party!
Q: Can I have a pacer?
A: As with all of our events, Squatchers over the age of 60 and AWD (athletes with disabilities) can have a pacer/guide at any time. Please fill out the pacer registration form ahead of time and be sure to pick-up a pacer bib during check-in! Pacers are not allowed for other runners and hikers without prior approval from the Trail Party Director.
Q: I can't come to the Trail Party anymore, can I get a refund?
A: Like many other race organizations, we do not offer refunds for our events. Please take the time to double check your calendar before registering for a Trail Party. Please understand that we do not offer refunds under any circumstances. If you notify us via email (not through social media, text or phone call) more than 21 days from the date of the Trail Party, we will extend a deferral to any of our events that fall within one calendar year of the Trail Party that you were registered for. If you sustain an injury less than 21 days from the race date, we will extend a deferral if you come to that race to volunteer for at least 4 hours. If the race that you want to drop from is sold-out with an active wait-list and are able to fill your spot: if you notify us via email (not through social media, text or phone call) at least 3 days before the race, we will extend a deferral to any of our events that fall within one calendar year of the Trail Party that you were registered for. The race credit is the amount that you paid for the race (not including UltraSignUp fees) so you will need to cover any difference in fees; refunds will not be issued if the deferred event costs less than your race credit. You can only defer one time so please doublecheck that you can make the race you're deferring to.
Q: This will be my first trail race. What do I need to know?
A: We are SO EXCITED that you are choosing a Sassquad event for your first trail race! You don't have to run - this is definitely a hiker-friendly event. Come ready to have a great time and meet some awesome people!
Q: Me and my friend aren't registered for the race, but we're still planning on coming to run. We won't eat from the aid station or take a medal or swag. This is okay, right?
A: NO THIS IS NOT OKAY. This is called being a "race bandit" and it is stealing. Not paying for a race and running the race is stealing from the race organization (even if you're not taking food or swag). Don't do this at a Sassquad trail party or ANY other race. It's not okay. And if you hear about someone else doing this, call them out. If you bandit a race, you will be banned from registering for any of our Sassquad events.
Q: I could get lost in a brown paper bag. Will the course be marked?
A: We will have bright colored ribbons along the course and plenty at all of the turns.
Q: Can I sign my kids up for the 5K?
A: Yes! We want the WHOLE family to come out to our events! We have a special discount code for families registering 3 or more Squatches in the same household. Please email us (trailpartydirector@sassquadtrailrunning.com) before you register so we can give you the code! Once you have the code, be sure to register your child separately and agree to the waiver for minors.
Q: Can I run with my dog?
A: No, our insurance policy does not cover dogs at any of our events. Spectators can bring a four-legged friend but it must be leashed at all times. Thank you for understanding!
Q: Are there restrooms at the start/finish area?
A: There are portajohns in the Parking Lot.
