Event Overview
The Livingston Oval Ultra is a timed endurance event held in Livingston, New Jersey. The race takes place on a course known as the Oval, which is located along Robert Harp Drive.

Participants can choose from four distinct time-based categories:

The race is held in a public space, and the organizers maintain strict rules regarding littering to ensure the area remains clean.
