On October 26th 2013 at the Six Flags Great Adventure & Safari in Jackson, NJ the first ever New Jersey Middle School Cross Country Championships will be held as a end of season wrap up. This event is being put together by Exclamation Services which is run by past NJ High School State Champion distance runner Andy Martin. This is a great move forward for NJ middle school running and is sure to be a great experience and opportunity for the young athletes racing for a championship. Not only will the course be exciting, or the feel of championship racing be in the air, but professional athletes from the NJ*NY Track Club will be there for the young athletes to meet and sign autographs.
