Pineland Striders Boxing Day 5K

Voorhees, NJ
The Pineland Striders are pleased to invite you to the fifth anniversary of South Jersey's most cherished Boxing Day tradition (trust us, we did a poll; we narrowly beat out the second-place response "what's Boxing Day?"), the Boxing Day 5K! Because we're inarguably good at calendar, we deliberately scheduled this massive fifth-year bonanza for a Saturday, so you have no possible excuse not to come out and join us! Proceeds from this year's race will be donated to Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of New Jersey’s wildlife and habitats through education, conservation, and rehabilitation. The overall mission of Cedar Run is to serve as a community resource on the importance of protecting and enhancing healthy ecosystems for all. If you're not able to join us for the race, you can still make a donation to this worthy organization. The event features a USATF-sanctioned, chip-timed 5K and FREE Kids' Fun Run. Participants in the 5K will receive our customary high-quality swag item. Our swag is unique, one-size-fits-all, and definitely not a t-shirt. Check in closer to race day for the official swag reveal! We're also continuing a longstanding Pineland Striders Boxing Day tradition: the regifting raffle! Got some presents for Christmas (or any other winter holiday that falls on or before December 25) that aren't quite your style? Bring them along! After the race, we'll have a wide variety of donated gifts. In a randomly-selected order, runners will be invited to pick a free gift. While we appreciate gift donations, they are not required, and every participant will be invited to select a gift (unless/until we run out), even if they don't bring one. Gifts do not need to be running-related at all; we will accept ANYTHING!* The 5K course uses residential roads surrounding Signal HILL Elementary School. It's not called Signal HILL randomly! The roads are not closed to traffic, but there is generally very little this time of day. Still, please be mindful and aware of your surroundings. There is a small section of the course that goes off-road (it's a grass-covered field, which is flat and not at all technical). The course will be marked with cones and chalk arrows, and volunteers will be stationed at tricky turns to make sure you don't wander off-course. Because this is a winter race, there will be NO on-course hydration; if you will need water during the race, plan to bring your own. Strollers are allowed, but due to USATF rules, dogs are not permitted in the race. The 5K will have about a 90-minute time cutoff, so run-walkers and walkers are welcome. After the race, warm beverages and snacks will be provided. Course map: https://onthegomap.com/s/v6brjh9a This event will be held rain-or-shine. That said, in the event that we do experience significant snowfall, we may be forced to cancel. Unfortunately, the majority of race expenses must be paid up-front (that's why we have to charge an entry fee), so we will not be able to issue refunds for cancellation. We appreciate that losing a race registration fee is frustrating, so if we are forced to cancel, we will ensure that all pre-registered runners receive their race swag and will make every effort to offer registered runners a deferral or discount to another Pineland Striders race (while we have you here, feel free to mark off Saturday, June 26, 2027 on your calendar! That'll be our annual Independence Day 5K/10K!). EVENT SCHEDULE: Saturday, December 26th - RACE DAY! 7:30am - Bib Pickup/Race Day Registration Begins8:45am - Free Kids' Fun Run Start9:00am - 5K Start10:15am - 5K Awards Ceremony10:30am - Regifting Raffle Awards will be given to the first place male, female, and non-binary finishers. Age group awards will be given to the first three male, female, and non-binary finishers in the following age groups: under 15, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and older. To ensure a successful event, we will require volunteers. If you're not interested in running, consider signing up to volunteer! All volunteers will receive a race premium as thanks for their time. To learn more about the Pineland Striders running club, or to become a member, visit our website or Facebook page. If you or someone you know would be interested in donating to or sponsoring the event, please contact us at pinelandstridersraces@gmail.com. *Obviously, we won't accept literally ANYTHING. Gifts should be new and unopened. Pretend we're the US Post Office: if it's alive, explosive, or pointy, we probably don't want it. Consumables legally restricted to those 21+ are fine--we'll be keeping an eye on things and will make sure your 12-year-old doesn't bring home a bottle of apricot schnapps from someone's Aunt Gertrude.

MLK Jr. Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHILADELPHIA

Camden, NJ
Join in our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Run! Today, we gather to honor the legacy of Dr. King and his enduring commitment to justice, equality, and peace. Together, we can honor Dr. King’s dream and inspire one another to continue striving for a better world. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave so it never feels crowded and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure. What You Get (Swag Bag): - Running T-shirt (shipped to your address - U.S. only) - Finisher's medal - Virtual Training Run (emailed to you a month before your run) - Online results & certificate of completion - Invitation to join a local running club - NEW: Upgrade to a lightweight, moisture-wicking technical shirt for just $5 more Packet Pickup? Skip It. No lines, no hassle - your swag ships straight to your door. (Double check your full U.S. mailing address, including apartment number, when you register as your shirt is sent to this address!) Race bibs are simply handed out on race day. When Will My Swag Arrive? Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race. Signing Up Last Minute?

Coach Mike O'Brien Memorial 5K St. Patrick's Day Run

Denville, NJ
Join us as we bring back our 5K St. Patrick's Day Run for the third time in memory of Coach Mike O'Brien on our USATF-Certified course (Course certification # is NJ24014JLW). Mike O’Brien was a beloved cross-country and track coach at Morris Catholic for 25 years. Additionally, he started the original Morris Catholic St. Patrick’s day 5k back in 2012. He really enjoyed the MC 5K and seeing/catching up with all the alumni as well as local runners that came to run. We are so glad to be able to bring this race back again in his honor! Get out into the fresh air and join us on Saturday March 14, 2026 at 9 am at Morris Catholic High School in Denville NJ. Note: we welcome seasoned runners and will award medals in multiple age groups, but no experience is necessary. If you are a novice runner or have not yet started running, consider trying this "couch potato to runner program: https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/5k-training/novice-5k/ Keep in mind that we have a limited number of dri-fit t-shirts that we will distribute to the first 250 runners to register. Don't miss out! Register early!! The race proceeds will benefit the Morris Catholic High School scholarship and athletic programs as well as the Denville Public Assistance Fund! Did you know that Morris Catholic is a co-educational college preparatory school in Northern NJ founded in 1957? Morris Catholic was designed to serve students in Morris County from a perspective of Catholic values. With an average enrollment under 500 students, Morris Catholic is considered to be the right size for a student who wants to find a community that is authentically caring and lands students in the best colleges in the country. One of Morris Catholic’s goals is to keep its tuition within reach of all families. Therefore, it relies on various fund raising activities such as this race, to enhance the students’ high school experience and to provide scholarships to those who require financial assistance. As Morris Catholic is located in Denville, NJ, it is only fitting that the proceeds of the race are shared with the Denville Public Assistance Fund, to give back to this wonderful community! A good run for a good cause? Let's do it! May the luck of the Irish give us a sunny day; but the race runs on Rain or Shine! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR THIS YEAR'S RACE, HERE ARE RACE DAY LOGISTICS: We are excited to see you on race day, this Saturday, 3/14, at Morris Catholic High School - 200 Morris Avenue, Denville, NJ - and wanted to share some race day details with you. Our race starts at 9:00 (rain or shine!) so please give yourself ample time to park and pick up your bib and t-shirt prior to the start of the race. RUNNER BIB AND T-SHIRT PICKUP: Runner bib and t-shirt pick up will be in the Morris Catholic cafeteria located in the back of the school next to the soccer field, and runners may enter our cafeteria starting at 7:30 a.m. PARKING: Follow the signs for parking as you enter our school campus at 200 Morris Avenue, Denville. Please follow all posted and common parking restrictions. For example, don't park in an area if there are any "No Parking" signs posted, don't park near stop signs or intersections, and don't park in front of residential driveways. Our main concern is that emergency vehicles and local traffic can still easily access the roadways. NOTE: In the event that our parking lots fill up at Morris Catholic HS, participants are permitted to park on Kitchell Road as long as they follow all parking restrictions. Also, for easy access to the roadway, we recommend that participants only utilize one side of Kitchell Road for street parking. Audubon Drive, which is the first left from Kitchell Road (directly behind Morris Catholic), is a wide residential street and can be utilized for overflow parking. All Gardner Field parking lots and Savage Road can also be utilized for overflow parking. RACE TIMING INFORMATION: Our race uses state-of-the-art chip timing and results by Best Racing Systems. You will not have to wait for results to be printed. Instead, runners can get results on their phone by going to http://www.BESTrace.com/mobile after you finish your race. This information will also be included on your runner bib. If you see something wrong with your results (such as your name, gender or age are incorrect), please contact the BestRace race timers by the start/finish line. Please check your results within 5-10 minutes of finishing so that any corrections can be made before the awards are announced. POST RACE REFRESHMENTS AND AWARDS: Race participants and supporters are invited to the cafeteria after the race for the medal ceremony and to enjoy music, bagels, bananas, and beverages. Thank you so much for participating in this race in honor of Coach O'Brien!

MidJersey Orthopaedics Run O' the Mill 5K

Clinton, NJ
The Run O' the Mill is a 5k road race held in Clinton, New Jersey and founded by hometown Olympian Julie Culley. Julie originally envisioned the St. Patrick's Day Weekend event as a community celebration and an act of gratitude for the town that embraced her in the years leading up to the 2012 Olympic Games. The goal of the race is to provide a forum for runners, businesses, and community members alike to continue to foster the rich legacy of distance running and philanthropy in Hunterdon County by sharing in a 5K, which is the distance Julie covered in the London Olympic Stadium. The Run O’the Mill is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation that offers financial support to youth sports, community groups, and other charitable endeavors in the northern Hunterdon County area and elsewhere.

St. Paddy's Day Lucky Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHILADELPHIA

Camden, NJ
🍀 St. Paddy's Day Run: Luck, Laughs, and Laces! 🍀 Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a fun and festive run that’s as much about the spirit of the holiday as it is about the finish line! Whether you're running, walking, or just along for the ride, this 5K/10K/13.1 is the perfect way to enjoy the day with friends, family, and fellow revelers. Dress up in your favorite green gear—shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and everything in between—and join us for a race full of fun and good cheer! Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave so it never feels crowded and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure. What You Get (Swag Bag): - Running T-shirt (shipped to your address - U.S. only) - Finisher's medal - Virtual Training Run (emailed to you a month before your run) - Online results & certificate of completion - Invitation to join a local running club - NEW: Upgrade to a lightweight, moisture-wicking technical shirt for just $5 more Packet Pickup? Skip It. No lines, no hassle - your swag ships straight to your door. (Double check your full U.S. mailing address, including apartment number, when you register as your shirt is sent to this address!) Race bibs are simply handed out on race day. When Will My Swag Arrive? Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race. Signing Up Last Minute? (Within 2 Weeks of the Race) No problem - just note that shipping may not catch up in time, so your shirt could arrive after race day. No worries, though: wear whatever you like and come run with us anyway! When Will I Receive the Course Map and Details? We'll send final participant info by the Wednesday before race day with all the details and course maps. Wave Times (Once you've registered, use your confirmation number to reserve a wave here) Wave A: 7:30 AM Wave B: 8:00 AM Wave C: 8:30 AM Running Late?
