Miles4Marcus

Lace up for a truly impactful experience at the 4th annual Miles4Marcus, a heartwarming event held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Mahwah, NJ. This unique race isn't about setting a personal best over a fixed distance, but rather a compelling 1-hour challenge where participants run or walk as many laps as possible within the allotted time at Continental Soldiers Park. The course, set within the scenic park grounds, provides a supportive and community-driven atmosphere for all ages and abilities.

Miles4Marcus honors the vibrant legacy of Marcus Kayal, a beloved Mahwah High School student and passionate soccer player who tragically passed away in 2019. Every stride taken contributes directly to the Marcus Kayal Legacy4Life, a foundation dedicated to providing vital preventative cardiac screenings for students at Mahwah High School in partnership with the MCore Foundation. This makes the event more than just a race; it's a collective effort to promote heart health and celebrate Marcus's spirit of dedication and community.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 73F and lows near 52F, along with a 17% chance of precipitation, making for potentially comfortable running weather. Water stops will be available on the course to keep participants hydrated. With its engaging 1-hour format, inspiring mission, and supportive community at Continental Soldiers Park, Miles4Marcus offers a memorable opportunity to run for a cause that truly makes a difference.
