Race Information

Set within the rugged trails of Dickerson Mine Preserve, the XTERRA Transcend Trail Run delivers a dynamic off-road running experience through one of New Jersey’s most unique landscapes.

Runners navigate this World Championships Qualifying race through wooded singletrack, historic mining terrain, and rolling hills that blend flow with challenge. Expect twisting forest trails, short punchy climbs, and technical sections with rocks and roots that keep you engaged throughout. The course features varied terrainβ€”from smooth, fast stretches to tighter, more technical sections requiring focus and agility. Frequent but manageable elevation changes create a steady rhythm that rewards smart pacing. Along the way, runners pass scenic woodland corridors and remnants of the area’s mining history, adding a distinctive character you won’t find on typical trail courses.

With multiple distance options, XTERRA Transcend is accessible to beginners while offering a rewarding challenge for experienced trail runners.
