Barn-B-Q Trail Festival
About this race
Party like it's 1899! Why migrate south with the masses when you can stay & play at North Jersey's original summer resort this Labor Day Saturday? Barn-B-Q is the best and most unique way to bid summer an early farewell without the traffic, crowds, and fuss. Join us at the beautifully restored Masker's Barn within the Deserted Village at Watchung Reservation. Our very own Urban Oasis!
Celebrate the great outdoors with a trail run or hike and then party it up at the all-inclusive 5-hour Barn party featuring BBQ, Beer, Wine, and Seltzers! Expect Trail-tivities, Barn-tivities, fun tunes, good times, and new friends! Souvenir, memories, and good vibes included!
Barn-B-Q is a celebration of the outdoors, running, hiking, eating, drinking, music, games, friends old and new, & fun!
