Training in West Orange

West Orange is a large Essex County township of about 48,000 residents that climbs from the valley floor up the First and Second Watchung Mountains. The town is perhaps best known as the home of Thomas Edison's National Historical Park and the sprawling South Mountain Reservation, a 2,110-acre county park that provides some of the best hiking and outdoor training terrain in the metropolitan area. Neighborhoods range from the dense Pleasant Valley section to the hilltop estates of Llewellyn Park, one of the oldest planned residential communities in the United States.
