The Skeleton Run: Sprints and Bony Banter 🏃‍♂️💀

Saturday, October 26 10 AM

🏰 114 Saltzman Ave, Oceanport, NJ

Ever wanted to join the skeleton army but lacked the whole being-dead thing? Well, now's your chance! 💀 The Skeleton Run is turning Fort Monmouth into a boneyard, and you're invited to the party.

What's Rattling:

• A winding path full of spooky surprises (hopefully not real skeletons)

• Skeleton suit for the first 1,500 runners (finally, a race outfit that shows off your diet results!)

• Chip-timed results (in case you need proof for your skeptical friends)

• Celebratory beer at the finish line (because nothing says "health" like a post-run brew)

💸 Damage to Your Wallet: $48.65 (but can you really put a price on joining the undead?)

Insider Intel:

• Packet pickup on Friday, October 25th, 4-7 PM at Fort Athletic Club

• Race day pickup available from 8:30 AM (for you last-minute zombies)

• After-parties at Baseline Social and Birdsmouth Brewing (first drink's on them!)

• Parking at Baseline Social (follow the trail of lost souls... or just the parking attendants)

☀️Weather Watch: Partially cloudy with temps in the 60s. Perfect for not overheating in your skeleton suit!

Bony Tips for a Skele-fun Time:

1. Hydrate! Those skeleton suits don't breathe well. 💦

2. Bring extra cash for post-race shenanigans. 💸

3. Carpool if possible - parking might be tighter than a coffin.

4. Don't forget to stretch. Wouldn't want to pull a funny bone!

Wim Hof Method® Breath, Ice + Sauna: Routines Straight From French Kitchens🧊🔥

Sunday, October 27 11 AM - 3 PM

🏙️ 80 Maple Avenue, Montclair, NJ

Ever thought to yourself, "You know what would be fun? Alternating between freezing my tush off and sweating buckets!"? No? Well, someone did, and they created this wild ride of an experience. 🎢

What's Cool (and Hot):

• In-depth breathwork (because apparently, we've been doing it wrong all these years) 🧘‍♀️

• Ice baths (perfect for those who find regular baths too comfortable)

• Sauna sessions, for when you want to pretend you're on a tropical vacation 🏖️

• Comfort food lunch with bourbon hot toddies (because you'll need it after all that)

💸 Damage to Your Wallet: A cool $256.79 (That’s a high price to prep me for a meal, but ok)

The Claims:

• Better sleep (or at least a good nap after all that exertion) 💤 

• Increased energy (you'll need it to stop shivering)

• Reduced stress (nothing like freezing water to make you forget about your problems) 🍃 

• Stronger immune system (what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?)

How to Survive... Er, Thrive:

1. Bring comfortable clothing (you'll want it after the ice bath)

2. Pack a bathing suit (unless you're brave enough to go au naturel)

3. Leave your dignity at home (it'll be easier that way)

4. Prepare some witty one-liners, maybe just words, for when you're too cold to form coherent sentences
