Vineland Grand Prix XC Series

The Vineland Grand Prix XC Series is a free five-race 5K cross-country series in Vineland, New Jersey, held on Wednesday summer nights at Campanella Park. It is promoted as South Jersey's only free race series, and one registration covers all five events. The atmosphere is intentionally low-pressure: families, beginners, walkers, club runners, and faster racers are all welcome, with walkup registration available before each race. The course is located at Campanella Park on West Elmer Road, a local cross-country venue the organizers call Vineland's hidden gem. Each race is chip-timed, with individual results posted weekly and full-series standings tracked across all five races. The City of Vineland Recreation Department sponsors the series, Second Capital Running produces it, and runners must complete all five races to qualify for awards.
