C'mon Armageddon

About the Event

C'mon Armageddon is a trail running event held in the mountains of northern New Jersey. The event features three distances: 50K, 10 Miler, and 5 Miler. The courses are designed to traverse difficult and technical terrain, including boulder fields, river crossings, and mountain peaks. Runners can expect significant elevation gain, with the 50K covering over 7000 ft, the 10 Miler covering over 2000 ft, and the 5 Miler covering about 1000 ft. Some views from the course include the New York City skyline.

Race Details

The event is described as a "zero carbon" event. A one-dollar fee is added to each registration specifically to offset the carbon emissions for a participant's personal travel to and from the event, in partnership with Native Energy. The organizer also collects monetary donations for a local non-profit.

The event provides awards for the top male, female, and non-binary finishers on the 50K course. Brooks, through Root Runners, will provide shoes to these winners.

On the Course

The event is cupless, meaning runners must bring their own hydration pack or vessel. Water and electrolyte mix are available at the start/finish area and at aid stations. There are five aid stations on the 50K course and one aid station on the 10 Miler course. Some fuel is also provided at all five 50K aid stations.

For the 50K, there is a mandatory gear list that includes a GPX file on a device (watch or phone), a headlamp, one liter of hydration, 400 calories of food, and an outer layer or windbreaker. A gear check occurs during bib pickup on race morning. There are strict, enforced cutoffs for the 50K distance.

Location

The event is held at Old Jungle Habitat in Norvin Green State Park. The address is 109 Airport Rd, West Milford, NJ. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
