Cait's Walk, Run, Skip or Dance 5K

Haddon Township, NJ
Event Details: Join us Saturday, November 7th, 2026 for the 3rd annual Cait’s Walk, Run, Skip or Dance 5k to benefit the Infinite Love & Light Foundation! Participants can choose between a 5k run or a 1-mile walk. Feel free to skip or dance along the way, just as Cait would do! The 1-mile walk is pet friendly for all well-behaved pups. Before, during, and after the run/walk, please stop by our raffle basket tables to try and win some incredible prizes! All proceeds will go towards our fundraising goal. Snacks and light refreshments will also be provided. Registration will begin at 8:00am and the race/walk will start around 9:00am. Registration will be held inside the pavilion next to the Newton Lake Park Playground. All are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you there! The Foundation: The Infinite Love & Light Foundation is a non-profit created to carry on the legacy of the late Caitlin Catanella, who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in December of 2021. Cait impacted so many with her positive energy, her "yes you can" motivational mindset, and endless desire to help others. Staying committed to Cait's core values, the Infinite Love & Light Foundation identifies local families that are currently battling cancer, and through our charity efforts, help to soften the financial burden they are experiencing and add some much needed love & light into an extremely difficult time. (501c3) This Year’s Recipient: This year, the Infinite Love and Light Foundation will be donating all proceeds raised to the O'Brien family. The O'Brien’s (Brian - Dad, Jean - Mom, Nolan – age 11, and Harry – age 8) are Cherry Hill residents and have established deep roots within the local community. They love their family time together, including anything related to soccer and traveling to various destinations, cherishing every memory they make along the way. In April of 2023, Jean and Brian noticed their son Nolan was experiencing ongoing GI issues, which were originally diagnosed as Celiac. When the symptoms did not subside, they sought further testing at CHOP to determine a more accurate diagnosis, and in late May 2023 received information that no parent is prepared to receive…Nolan had a tumor at the base of his brain known as ependymoma. Doctors were able to operate immediately and remove the tumor, with multiple rounds of radiation to follow. Due to the location of the tumor, Nolan’s speech, vision, and balance were affected. Still, with time and physical/occupational therapy, he was able to improve. For the foreseeable future, Nolan would receive routine scans and testing to monitor his condition. In October of 2025, after 2.5 years of clean scans, Nolan started experiencing new symptoms. Following testing, results showed that a brain tumor had returned to a different location, as well as tumors around the spine. When ependymoma returns and shows presence in the spine it becomes difficult to treat, but Nolan is a fighter. He has had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, received chemo treatments, and is participating in a clinical trial with various medications used to attack cancer cells. Nolan is taking everything in stride and continues to impress all of those around him with his courage and strength. Nolan is currently ready to begin middle school as a 6th grader. He loves playing sports, including soccer, flag football, and kickball - just to name a few – in addition to playing Dungeons and Dragons and Roblox with his friends. Nolan is very outgoing, strong, and certainly resilient. Whatever Nolan is doing, he is thoughtful in his approach and always brings great energy and enthusiasm. Please help us support Nolan and the O’Brien family so they can focus on getting Nolan back to his energic, life-loving self. With your help, we hope to soften the financial burden for their family and bring some much needed love and light into their lives during this very difficult time.

This year there will be professional timing by Pioneer Timing. The Saint James Almost Winter Classic is a race created by the Saint James School of Basking Ridge XC Team to promote post XC season running among child and adult athletes in the greater Northern and Central New Jersey area. 100% of the proceeds from the event go to help support programming and to make Catholic School education more accessible. Donations are GLADLY ACCEPTED! Thank you for supporting Catholic schools. The Saint James XC program is a leader in grade school cross-country in the state of New Jersey. We promote safe and healthy outdoor activity that helps children become better athletes and even better people. The Almost Winter Classic was created in 2020 because so many athletes had a limited opportunity to access indoor sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. When XC ended, there was no place for many athletes to turn for winter sports. In response, the SJS XC Community created a 5K club for its athletes and parents who wanted to participate. Since 5K race options were limited, we decided to create an event that would give runners the opportunity to compete in a friendly way and help to build our running community. Saint James School was founded in 1965 and educates children Pre-K to 8th Grade. Shirts will be available for pickup at PVP on Race Day.
