Thursday Night Run - Hoboken

Jackrabbit Hoboken and The Mills Hoboken

THE MILLS, 125 WASHINGTON ST, HOBOKEN, NJ.

Once a month, the Jackrabbit running store in Hoboken has an evening charity run.




There are THREE major components to the evening's The runs are 5k, Thursday at 7pm and usually have about 20 participants.  The evening is a lot of fun and a good chance to learn the local running community.  First, once you arrive, be sure to buy your raffle tickets $5 each, this is the charity part.

Then there is the run.  This is NOT the route I walked or the actual 5km run, this is the Google/Android/GPS interpretation of my walk.  I walked from the store to the river, around Pier A and back to the store.  My walk took as long as most of the runners.  Upon return there is the group photo and the raffle.  Prizes have included SHOES, HATS, GLOVES, SUNGLASSES, and other things from the store - not a bad selection of prizes!

The party and tasting are sponsored by Ketel One Botanical Vodka.  Free tasting for all!  Thank you local Ketel One distributor!



Drinks are moved around to local bars each event.  We were at The Mills, and also had the nachos... losing all benefit of the run.

Blue Hill At Stone Barns

Blue Hill At Stone Barns

Blue Hill At Stone Barns, 630 Bedford Rd, Tarrytown, NY 10591



In spring of 2004, Blue Hill at Stone Barns opened within the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, New York. The Barbers helped create the philosophical and practical framework for Stone Barns Center, a working four-season farm and educational center just 30 miles north of New York City, and continue to help guide it in its mission to create a consciousness about the effect of everyday food choices.













Sourcing from the surrounding fields and pasture, as well as other local farms, Blue Hill at Stone Barns highlights the abundance of the Hudson Valley. There are no menus at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Instead, guests are offered a multi-taste feast featuring the best offerings from the field and market.
