Squatchapple

Squatchapple is a trail event in West Orange, New Jersey, on March 6, 2027. Four distances go off through the morning: the 50 Miler (80.5 kilometers) at 7:00 a.m., the 50K (31 miles) at 8:00 a.m., then the 20 Miler (32.2 kilometers) and the 11 Miler (17.7 kilometers) together at 9:00 a.m. The staggered starts mean the longer fields are already on course when the shorter races begin.

With four options on the same trails, this is an event you can grow into. The 11 Miler works for a runner comfortable with a two-hour effort, the 20 Miler and 50K are ultra territory that reward a winter of consistent mileage, and the 50 Miler needs a dedicated build with back-to-back long weekends. Whatever you enter, early March in northern New Jersey often leaves mud and leftover ice on the trails, so pick aggressive tread and expect your pace to sit well off road numbers.
