| The Event: |
After taking a 5-year break, the always popular Sunset Classic came back with a vengeance in 2001. The streets of Bloomfield greeted nearly 1000 runners with welcoming arms on a warm June night as they headed for a rousing finish on the track at Foley Field. 2002 saw torrential, horizontal rain, but over 700 stalwarts braved the elements and had a great time. In 2003, the weather improved, and the smiles returned. 2004 and 2005 were even better, with great weather and the best food ever.
Runners enjoyed the hotdogs and other great food as well as the music, random prizes and the ever popular collared shirt. The 1 Mile Fun Run, which starts and finishes on the track, and the hilariously competitive Kids' Infield Sprints make for a great opportunity to bring the whole family.
Easy to get to.... Spend June 29th running with us!

The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program
The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program (V.E.S.T.) serves developmentally delayed adolescents and young adults in the Essex County area. Housed in the Bloomfield Middle School, V.E.S.T. works with youngsters aged 15-21 with the goal of providing the means to make the students independent and employable.
Funds raised on behalf of V.E.S.T. are used to procure equipment and services. Computerized manufacturing and assembly machines as well as the most current vocational assessment services are on the V.E.S.T. wish list and the SUNSET CLASSIC proceeds will be put to good use.
The V.E.S.T. Program seeks community support to reach its goals and thanks all SUNSET CLASSIC participants and sponsors for their support.
For information concerning the V.E.S.T. Program, call Team Leader, Rick Peterson at 973-338-0208.
