3rd ANNUAL

THE TIGER 24
24 hours on NJ's Best Track
 

THE EVENT

Need an event that is truly different? The Tiger 24 is run or walked on the finest high school track in New Jersey. You may run at 6pm or midnight or at dawn or any time in between. The decision is yours. Run for fun, craziness or to raise money for Children’s Charities.

In 2005, one stalwart ran a double ultra marathon. That’s 250 laps on a quarter mile track. Many others ran between 10 and 25 miles. And all can compete in our unusual special features including a Midnight 5,000 meters, the Backwards 400, the 3:00 AM Extravaganza or our popular relays.

So join us on the 28th or 29th of April  (or both) for any or all of the 24 hour Tiger 24 at South Plainfield High School.
