Lake Hopatcong Trail Run 5K

Lace up and hit the trails for a meaningful morning at the beautiful Prospect Point Preserve. This year’s event benefits the Jefferson High School Football Team, supporting our local student-athletes. Walkers and Hikers Welcome.

The Lake Hopatcong Trail 5K also honors the memory of Lynette Denson, founder of Tru Nature Yoga and a beloved member of our community. In 2020, Lynette joined us on this very trail. Despite her battle with cancer and a recent hip replacement, she walked the full 3.1 miles with determination and grace. She passed in May 2021, and her strength and spirit continue to inspire us.

 
The Course:
The course is a loop through the Prospect Point trails, starting on a wide, packed gravel path with some mild hills and rocky sections. Around mile one, you’ll cross the bridge to Liffy Island, where the trail becomes narrower and more technical. Expect soft dirt, logs, and single-track paths through peaceful woods before returning over the bridge and finishing on the main trail.
