SPECIAL Events:

Store Wars (Montclair vs Poughkeepsie) (Mon, Mar 10 - Mon, Apr 7): This virtual challenge has become very competitive with the teams neck and neck in total mileage and the lead changing hands several times. Please keep logging your miles if you're signed up for the Fleet Feet Montclair team!

Training Programs:

Registration is still open for the spring 5K training program starting in April.

Big Run 5K Training Program (Sat, Apr 12 - Tue, Jun 3): Have you always wanted to walk or run a 5K but didn't know how to begin training? Maybe you are nervous or don't want to do it alone? Maybe you have had a hard time sticking to a training program in the past? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, our iconic beginner program is perfect for you. In 8 weeks our fun, unintimidating program will help you make it to the finish line of the Fitzgerald's 5K Lager Run on Sun, Jun 8.

Weekly Group Runs:

Thursday Night Fun Run / Walk: Meet up at Fleet Feet at 6pm. Friendly social group for walkers or runners and a great way to meet new friends. Bring family, friends, co-workers or come alone. All paces are welcome and you can run or walk as little or as much mileage as you want. Most people start out on a 3 mile route down Midland Ave with a loop around Edgemont Park but you can turn around sooner if you want a shorter walk / run. Some people also extend the run up to 6 miles with a second loop on North Mountain, Watching and Midland Ave. Route maps are available here.

Sunday Morning Group Run: Meet up at Fleet Feet at 7am. All paces and distances welcome. Popular with people training for longer distance events especially during the summer and fall. Various distances and paces through the streets of Montclair to Edgemont Park, Anderson Park and Brookdale Park including popular routes of 3, 5, 7 and 8.5 miles. Route maps are available on the Running Routes page on the ERC web site. These meet-ups are not usually guided by Fleet Feet staff but there are Supported Long Runs on some Sunday mornings in the spring, summer and fall with aid stations at Fleet Feet and Anderson Park.
