Third Annual HunterFest 5K and Festival to Benefit HuntersWorld Race Description

The HunterFest 5K is back for its third year! This breathtaking USATF-NJ Grand Prix qualifier 5K in Liberty State Park offers one of the world's most spectacular views of the New York City skyline and Lady Liberty.  All levels are welcome.
