The Registration area is at Monument row. It is on North Park Drive and Donahue Avenue. Look for the large flame Holocaust Memorial Flame. Pull into the small road next to it and turn right into the parking lot. You may also park in the lots next to the Jack Curtis Stadium ( where the race ends) and walk up to the registration area.
Packet Pick up will be held at the Haddonfield Running Company which is located at 121 King's Highway East in Haddonfield. We will be holding packet pickup from 11-5 on Friday September 6th and Saturday September 7th.
I would strongly encourage you if at all possible to attend the Pre Race packet pickup. That way all you will need to do is show up Sunday prepared to race. Haddonfield Running Company is donating a discount coupon to all of our racers so while signing in you can pick up a discounted item there.
If you are a rucker you may attend packet pick up and get your bag, shirt and bib. You will need to have your bag weighed in on race day. There is a separate table in the registration area for weighing your bags. anyone 149 pounds or under is required to carry a 10 pound weight. Anyone 150 pounds or over must carry a20 pounds. Weighted vests and RPC qualify for the division as well as LEOS and Firefighters in full turnout gear.
On race day things get very hectic with same day signups and check ins. You will avoid the crowd and make our life easier if you attend a packet pickup.
If you signed up as a volunteer please report to Dawn Ragan at the registration area. by 7;30 to receive your assignments and race shirts. We cannot guarantee that every volunteer will receive a shirt if they sign in after August 30th.
There will be a sponsor tent at the completion of the race. Please stop and support all of our race sponsors.
There will be a short Memorial ceremony at the conclusion of the race.
Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group in the run division and to the top three male and female finishers in the ruck division.

Gene Dannenfelser
The Pennsauken 1-mile run/walk is dedicated to the memory of Gene Dannenfelser.
Gene dedicated his life to Public Service and the protection of others. He retired as a Camden County Fire Marshal holding the highest rank of Deputy Chief. He held the highest rank of Chief and life member of the Haddon Heights Department. Gene’s dedication to the fire service brotherhood continued when he was sent to Ground Zero on 9/11 for rescue and recovery efforts. Gene fought a courageous battle with 9/11 related lung cancer. He passed, surrounded by his loving family. He was a class act and a true hero. Gene was involved in many organizations over the years, but one of his proudest accomplishments was serving the Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund.
Gene joined the Board of Trustees of the Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund in 1992. He served as Vice President from April of 1999 to January of 2002 when he took a temporary leave from the Board. He returned in April of 2009 and served until his untimely passing. He was elected President of the organization in April of 2011 and served with distinction until September of 2017 when he stepped down for health reasons.
Many individuals have served the Camden County Hero Scholarship over the years,
but Gene’s dedication went above and beyond. He was actively involved in every committee, attended nearly every event we hosted and was an avid supporter of the organization. But what stands out the most was his kind heart, sense of humor and willingness to help anyone, in any way he could. Many people were honored to call Gene a friend. He left a legacy that will live on forever! He is and will always be missed by many!
