DIRECTIONS: From downtown South Orange, take South Orange Avenue westward up South Mountain toward Livingston. Near the top of the mountain, just past "The Top" apartment building, make a left into South Mountain Reservation. Go straight for about 1,500 feet to the race venue. Since there is limited parking in the reservation, and roads are closed soon before the race start, carpooling is recommended.
