CXC4L is proud to announce that we will be hosting the Newark Mile again in 2026. The race will take place along its traditional 2.5 mile (4km) course along the Newark Days parade route (see course map below for more detail). We are pleased to be hosting the 41st running of this local Newark favorite in partnership with the Newark Days Celebration!
After the race, stick around to enjoy the rest of the Newark Days such as carnival rides, parade, live entertainment, food festival, beer & wine pavilion, car show, and an arts & crafts fair.
