• Starting Point: Starting in Trenton with small groups of runners who are challenging themselves to go the entire distance.
• Passenger Addition: The ‘trains’ will add additional runners (passengers) who join (board their ‘train’) at the speed they want to travel.
• Support: All trains are scheduled to reach the destination at 11 a.m. to rest, feast and celebrate a day of running camaraderie.

💧 Fuel and Support

• Station Stops: Trains stop at each ‘station’ along the way, and from Alexander Road to the end there is fuel (water and/or snacks) available.
• Pacer: Trains will have an official pacer (conductor) to keep these trains on schedule.
