Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

Please join the Wayne Special Parents Association (WSPA) for our annual Turkey Trot 5K to support and raise awareness for Wayne Township Public Schools (WTPS) Unified Sports®. All proceeds will be donated to WTPS Unified Sports® Program. Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition sports experiences. Unified Sports® joins students with and without intellectual disabilities together as teammates, each one a meaningful, equal part of the team. Students involved in Unified are not volunteers. They come to play, make new friends and be leaders in making a positive impact on their school community. We plan to Gobble, Gobble, Run, and Wobble Rain-or-Shine! The course will begin & end on the Wayne Hills track located in the rear of the high school and travel through an adjacent neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to help support an amazing initiative and do some huffing and puffing before the gravy and stuffing! Early birds are sure to catch the worm with special pricing.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone who loves a relaxed walk, this event is for YOU! The Run for the Last Mile 5K is an officially registered, USATF Sanctioned, and USATF-NJ Grand Prix 500 Point Race hosted on the scenic campus of William Paterson University. This event isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about opening doors for our students. Every year, some students face financial barriers in their final semesters, unable to afford the last few courses they need to graduate. Proceeds from this event directly support the Last Mile Fund, a scholarship dedicated to bridging that affordability gap and helping students achieve their dreams of graduation. But this day is about more than fundraising—it’s about community and connection. Individuals and teams (including community groups, student organizations, staff, and faculty) are invited to participate, with awards celebrating team spirit, enthusiasm, and performance on the course. You’ll be cheere
