Brief Description

The 11th Annual Our House 5 Miler will be here before you know it, and over 500 stalwart runners will attack the scenic hills of Summit for the 2010 USATF-New Jersey Grand Prix Championship for Open Men and Women. A prize money purse of $3,000.00 will be offered, and the best New Jersey runners will compete for their share. Why should you run Our House? Well, besides the great course, long-sleeved Tee, super giveaways and terrific refreshments, we can't think of any good reason.
