The Starting Point of New Jersey 5K and 1-Mile Walk returns on April 4th at Cooper River Park in Camden County, a powerful community event centered on hope, healing, and resilience. This year we will be starting at the Piazza at the Park on North Park Drive (near lion statue). This annual gathering brings people together for a cause that touches us all. Whether you’re running in honor of a loved one, walking your own path, or showing up to champion mental wellness and recovery, every step helps break stigma and build connection. Proceeds directly benefit Starting Point, a nonprofit offering access to counseling, addiction recovery, support groups, and wellness services, because no one should face life’s challenges alone. Awards will be given to the top three male and female runners overall (by gun time) and age group awards will be given to the top three male and female in each of the following age groups (by net time): 14 and under 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and

One of the oldest six-day races in the country is lacing up once again. We’re bringing back the legendary Edward Payson Weston 6 Day—run in the '80s and '90s—now reborn as The Old Six Day. Six days. One track. Endless loops. Whether you’re chasing records, hitting big mileage goals, or just seeing how deep you can dig, this is your playground. Come out to Cooper River Park, soak in the history, and find your finish.

We hope to see you there!  All proceeds will be donated to Homeward Bound, a local animal shelter that is constantly overwhelmed with homeless dogs

YOU THIRSTY 5KThe You Thirsty 5K is a community-driven run created to bring awareness to something simple that many people overlook — drinking water and staying hydrated. Hosted by SUPLMNT, this event blends fitness, culture, music, and wellness into an early-morning outdoor experience designed for runners, families, and the community to come together with one purpose: move your body and hydrate. Along the course, runners will pass hydration stations, educational signage, music, and energy that turns a normal 5K into something bigger than a race. This is not  just about about pace. It’s about participation, awareness, and showing up for your health. LETS SPREAD AWARENESS!! Every registration is part of our Buy One, Give One initiative. When you sign up, you’ll receive a custom limited-edition "YOU THIRSTY 5K" SUPLMNT bottle, and a SUPLMNT bottle will also be donated to a youth through our community partners — helping support the next generation on their hydration journey.
