Last year, this lot filled up fast.

So this year… we made it bigger.

Run clubs. Teams. Training crews. Bring the tent. Bring the flag. Bring the chairs. Bring the people who are going to talk trash before the race and dissect everyone’s splits afterward.

We want this place packed with club colors.

Race hard. Then stick around and make the post-race lot yours.

Tag your crew below. Who’s setting up shop at The Chase? 🏁

Sleep in. Get coffee. Overthink your splits all afternoon.

Then at 5 PM, we take over 206.

21 days until The Chase 5K.
September 26. Hillsborough, NJ.

Your Saturday morning is safe.
Your evening? Not so much.

Claim your lane. 🐆🏁

September 26th is officially spoken for.

Fast runners. First-timers. Run clubs. Friend groups. Local legends. Everybody gets the same shot at 3.1 miles of road that normally belongs to cars.

This time, it’s ours.

The Chase 5K — September 26.
Claim your lane. Link in bio. 🐆🏁

The clock starts the same for everyone.

What you’re chasing is up to you.

A podium.
A PR.
Your first 5K.
A comeback.
The friend who swears they’re faster than you.

Whatever it is, Chase it.

You can run 3.1 miles pretty much anywhere.

A neighborhood.
A park.
A treadmill.
Another race.

But once a year, Hillsborough gives runners something they normally have absolutely no business having:

the highway.

No traffic.
No cars.
Just runners taking over the 206 Bypass.

And now it’s September.

The Chase is no longer “coming.”

It’s this month.

September 26.
Own the Highway.

09/01/2026

Some of you are coming for the podium. 🏆

Some of you are coming for the post-race b**r, good vibes, and hanging out with the running community. 🍻

Either way, the highway is waiting.

September 26.
Who are you bringing with you?

A 5K worth your Saturday.

Not because you need another race on the calendar.

Because how often do you get to take over a highway, chase a fast time, and find out where you stack up against some of Jersey’s best?

September 26. Hillsborough.
Own the Highway.

Tag the person you’re racing. 🏁

You’re going to suffer voluntarily anyway.

Might as well do it with the highway shut down for you.

3.1 miles. Rt. 206 Bypass. One finish line worth chasing.

THE CHASE 5K — SEPT 26
Hillsborough, NJ

Run it. Walk it. Race for a PR. Race your neighbor. Just don’t watch this one from the sidewalk.
