Description

This route is (almost) the length of NJ going S to N or N to S. It is an open course route only defined by the ends (start and goal). The course has both a N-S and S-N variation since going north is significantly more uphill, while there is a precedent for doing southbound. In the south end the start/end is at the Cape May Lighthouse at the Southern point of New Jersey, while the other end is at the High Point Monument in the Northwest corner of the state, and also New Jersey's highest point. It will cross into seven different counties.

The gpx provided is an example of a possible route to run/hike. Be careful not to chose roads with heavy traffic when designing your route.

This route spans almost the entire length of New Jersey from south to north or vice versa. It starts/ends at the Cape May Lighthouse in the south and the High Point Monument in the north, New Jersey's highest point. The course, which crosses seven counties, has variations due to the uphill northbound journey and the precedent for southbound travel. best outlets in new York

My buddy Anthony and I are attempting to run this as a Group Self-Supported FKT northbound starting in Cape May on Thursday October 3, 2024. We'll be posting updates to our Strava and IG as we go.
