About

We're partnering with Bigger Than The Trail for the Fat Sass Switchback Challenge at South Mountain Reservation in Millburn, NJ. The course features a 1-mile loop with 300 feet of elevation gain, starting at Locust Grove Picnic Area. The trail includes steep climbs on the Lenape Trail and switchback descents, with 95% on technical, rocky paths. Runners aim to complete as many loops as possible within 3 or 6 hours. This unique event, supporting Bigger Than the Trail, a charity promoting mental health through trail running, offers only water and bibs, so participants should bring any essentials they require. Whether tackling the 3 or 6-hour challenge, be sure to finish loops before the timer runs out for them to count. Consider donating to this cause to help provide therapy for those in need.
