Ashenfelter 8K Classic
Ashenfelter 8K Classic is an 8K road race held in Glen Ridge, United States, in November. The event is based at Glen Ridge High School and the route runs through the town on a relatively flat road course.
A separate shorter race, the Tom Fleming 2K, goes out and back along Ridgewood Avenue. Both races run on the same morning, with the 2K setting off before the 8K.
The event is named for Horace Ashenfelter, the 1952 Olympic steeplechase champion, while the 2K honours Tom Fleming, who won the New York City Marathon in 1973 and 1975. Proceeds go to the Glen Ridge Educational Foundation, which supports the local school system.
