From the Organizer
Explore Montclair on the run this summer with our Montclair Run-cation Series—a three-part Sunday morning adventure designed to get you moving, exploring, and experiencing your town in a whole new way.
Join us for themed runs or walks through Montclair, each featuring a unique route, a different brand partner, demo shoes, and special local experiences along the way.
July 12 — Bakery Crawl with HOKA
Lace up in the HOKA Clifton Pro or Mach 7 and cruise through Montclair with sweet stops at some of our favorite local bakeries.
July 26 — Mural Tour with ASICS
Take on a colorful route through town in the ASICS Novablast 6, exploring murals, public art, and creative corners of Montclair. Post run enjoy some elevated coffee treats.
August 9 — Trail Exploring with Altra
Hit the dirt and discover local trails in the Altra Lone Peak or Altra Torin as we trade pavement for adventure.
Whether you’re running, jogging, or walking, all paces are welcome.
As an added bonus, each event includes a one-of-a-kind collectible enamel pin designed specifically for that experience. Complete the series and build your full Run-cation collection—one adventure at a time.
Think of it as your summer staycation!
