Lace up for the Clinton Township Country Run, returning to Lebanon, NJ, on April 25, 2026. Celebrating over two decades as a beloved community event, this race offers both a challenging 15K and a popular 5K, inviting runners of all levels to experience the picturesque beauty of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Typical race day conditions in late April offer ideal running weather, with historical highs around 67°F and lows around 43°F, accompanied by a low 18% chance of precipitation.

Both USATF-certified courses promise a scenic journey with gentle rolling hills. The 15K takes participants on a captivating route along local roads and through a wooded stretch of the Landsdown Trail, winding through the town of Clinton before returning through the county. This course includes a fast and flat middle section, supported by five water stops and mid-way restroom facilities. The 5K, perfect for those seeking a shorter distance, loops through charming local neighborhoods after departing from Bundt Park, featuring one water stop at its halfway point.

Starting and finishing at Bundt Park, the Clinton Township Country Run is renowned for its well-organized execution and vibrant atmosphere, bolstered by a dedicated 100-person volunteer staff and police support ensuring smooth traffic control. Participants can look forward to energizing warm-up music from a local DJ, ample pre-race amenities including convenient parking and indoor facilities, and post-race "fuel" like oranges, bananas, bagels, and donuts. All entrants receive a commemorative long-sleeve t-shirt, and top finishers in both races are recognized with trophies and cash prizes, making it a compelling event for both competitive clubs and families alike.
