The ViK 5K takes place on May 2, 2027, in West Milford, with a 5K (3.1-mile) road and trail race starting at 9 a.m. The course mixes trails, roads and hard-packed ground, with a few rocky uphill sections, and starts at the boat launch.
Participants are encouraged to support the future health care professionals of Vernon Township High School. Access from Highland Lakes is made easier by the opening of the back gate.
