The Ashenfelter 8K Classic (A8K) is a world-class championship road race (which also happens to be open to runners, joggers and walkers of every ability) that takes place through the historic, gas-lamp lit Borough of Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The race honors resident Horace Ashenfelter who won the Steeple Chase event at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. The race is produced by Glen Ridge Athletics which is a non-profit fundraising organization in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Since its inception, the A8K Classic has donated over $52,000 in support of the Glen Ridge High School.
