In short, we are an obscure suburban running group in Eastern, Central New Jersey. But there’s a bit more to it… There’s no shortage of running clubs/groups in New Jersey. We have joined, ran with or have had some association with several of them. They are all great in their own way. They all have some facet, idea or event that appeals to us, but there’s not one that could completely fill our needs due to location, event timing or any number of other small details. So, we decided to start our ow …
