Welcome to the fifth annual MissionCleanWater Westfield Ultra hosted at Tamaques Park in Westfield, NJ. Participants can register for a 3hr, 6hr, 9hr, 12hr, or 24hr event where you will try and complete as many loops around Tamaques Park as possible. One loop is .8 miles and you have the option to run on pavement or on gravel. The race start and finish location and where participants can park are at the main parking lot next to the Tennis courts and playground. At that location are restrooms. Runners are welcome to place gear, coolers, and shade cover anywhere near the start location of their own supplies.
For anyone who raises $500 towards our clean water projects, they will receive a full refund and guaranteed entry to any future races. Send an email to [email protected] and we will create a personal page for you.
The start time is promptly at 9am. We suggest participants arrive before 8:30 so you can check in and drop off any necessary supplies. Participants can arrive earlier to claim a location for supplies. Our team will be setting up at 6:30 am.
1. At night, all runners must use a headlamp and wear a reflective vest.
2. ONLY 24-hour participants are allowed a tent which can only be set up close to sundown.
3. Your support teams must limit as much travel as possible at night time.
4. Quiet hours starting at 8 pm.
Anyone is welcome to have their own support crew and bring any necessary supplies they would like. This can include your own shade canopies, tents, coolers, and food. You are welcome to have crew members with you for the duration of the event. Pacers are welcome.
At the start/finish line will be our aid station. Here we will have everything from typical snacks, prepared food, tons of ice, water, electrolytes, GI supplies, First Aid, hot weather gear, and volunteers ready if you need any emergency supplies. If you are completing the 3hr and 6hr event, please leave the prepared food for the 9hr, 12hr, and 24hr participants. For each support member you have, we ask that each one make a small donation to MissionCleanWater.
MissionCleanWater is a 501c3 nonprofit organization working to bring clean drinking water and sanitation to underserved communities both domestically and internationally.
If you register after July 15th, we can not guarantee a race medal. All participants will be given a medal based on their event completion. For 24 hour finishers, you have the chance to win a 100-mile belt buckle.
Similar to other race organizations, we do not offer refunds. All of our directing staff are volunteers and your registration is a direct donation to MissionCleanWater. The only way to receive a refund is proof of injury or by committing to a $500 fundraising goal that is a requirement to complete.
Thank you to these brands for supporting the Westfield Ultra this year.
