Jersey City Runners

Welcome to JCR Holy Hills! We meet at 6:30 PM at Grove St. (next to the clock), and run throughout Jersey City and the Heights.

Holy Hills is a 5-9 mile run, using interval hill repeats. Great strength building for marathon training, improving speed, and overcoming mental barriers when running hills.

Holy Hills is open to all fitness levels - whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting your running journey. We typically will stay in one location (repeats up the same hill), where you can modify the workout to your fitness levels. On some occasions, we will simply run rolling hills, and there are shortcuts to reduce the elevation gain if needed.

In the summer, please bring hydration (water/electrolytes), and in the winter, reflective gear with headlamps is recommended for visibility.

NOTE: Each week we plan a different workout route based on training plans and upcoming races. If you'd like to meet the team at the workout location (instead of Grove St), please contact the organizer for the workout location one day ahead of time.

Purpose: This FriYAY Waterfront event is for runners looking to run 10-12min/mile in a social and supportive environment.

How It Works: Sign up here if you'd like to run at 7AM on Friday between an 10-12min/mile pace and want company. We will start at the entrance of the Exchange Place PATH station and run along the waterfront to the “Big Head”/Water’s Soul statue and back to Bluestone Lane (approximately 4 miles). New runners are very welcome and can plan to run part of the route with us and when tired can walk on their own. This is an easy to follow out and back route along the water, so runners can turn back anytime for a shorter run (or keep going for a longer run). We will pause briefly at the big head for a group photo, but otherwise do not walk or stop during the run. We end the run at Bluestone Lane (30 Hudson Street). Bluestone Lane provides free coffee to runners and you're welcome to purchase additional snacks and beverages.

When and Where Do We Meet? We meet in front of the EXCHANGE PLACE PATH every Friday at 7:00AM.

Join us for a Heights morning run! The route is just over 3 miles. We end at Choc O Pain in the Heights to start the weekend out right!

Pace is flexible, but most people range between 9:00 and 10:30/mi. Do also note there is a sizable hill up Hoboken Ave. but we will wait for everyone at the top of the hill. We also regroup at major stoplights/crossings.

Please abide by all CDC guidelines relevant to COVID-19. Please do not attend if you are ill.
