The HunterFest 5K is back for its second year! This breathtaking USATF-NJ Grand Prix qualifier 5K in Liberty State Park offers one of the world’s most spectacular views of the New York City skyline and Lady Liberty.  All levels are welcome. This will be a perfect recovery run for locals competing in the Jersey City Marathon the week prior as it is a flat, fast course.
