Please be advised that on Sunday, March 22nd, 2026 from 8:30 AM to approximately 1:00 PM the Garden State Track Club will be hosting a charity race in support of Franklin High School graduate scholarships. Two races will originate from within Colonial Park and utilize surrounding local roadways. This event is expected to draw hundreds of runners and it will be necessary to alter traffic patterns in the area during the event to ensure the safety of the runners. Many of these road closures will be intermittent or for short periods of time. We are working diligently to ensure that we minimize traffic disruptions as much as possible.
The following roadways and portions thereof are expected to have an altered traffic pattern or to be closed to vehicular traffic at various times during the event:
Amwell Road: Closed between Market Street and Elizabeth Avenue (expected closure time less than one hour)
Mettlers Road: Closed entire length (duration of the event)
Weston Road: Closed between Elizabeth Avenue and Weston Canal Road (closed duration of the event)
Weston Canal Road:Closed between Weston Road and Manville Causeway (closed duration of the event)
Weston Canal Road: Single lane alternating traffic between Manville Causeway and Schoolhouse Road (road will remain open)
Schoolhouse Road: Closed between Weston Canal Road and Randolph Road (Access to Canal Walk will be maintained from Randolph Road with single lane alternating traffic between Canal Walk Blvd and Mettlers Road)
Elizabeth Avenue: Closed from Amwell Road to Weston Road (Intermittent closures of various portions of the road during the event)
Thank you for your patience. The GSTC uses this event to raise funds to offer Scholarships to Franklin High School Graduates. For more information, please visit the event page at www.gardenstate10.org
