And this year, you can choose a race at your pace—sign up to run the 5K or the Wellness Walk on the day of the event or do it virtually starting October 3. Plus, there’s a bonus to all participants you can’t pass up—FREE entry to the Turtle Back Zoo.

Choose how you want to participate

This annual event supports RWJBarnabas Health and the NJ Devils’ commitment to work towards a healthier community by promoting healthy, active lifestyles and world-class healthcare. There are two ways to participate—attend the Live 5K Run & Walk on Sunday, November 3, or go virtual. The virtual format offers the option to run or walk around a neighborhood, at a local park, or even on a treadmill from October 3–November 3 using the RunGo App. Virtual runners and walkers are also eligible for prizes. Either way, you’ll get FREE access to Turtle Back Zoo—virtual participants can go anytime between November 4 and December 30, and live participants get free access on race day (November 3).

Be a part of the fun

Ready to feel healthier and support healthier communities around NJ? Both the competitive 5K Run and the Wellness Walk are on the scenic routes of Cherry Lane and the reservoir at South Mountain Recreation Complex. The race starts at 9 AM, and the Wellness Walk begins at 9:15. Got young kids who tire out quickly? You can bring a stroller for the race or walk. And when you register and fundraise, you’ll get perks like tickets to New Jersey Devils games, signed Jerseys, and meet and greets with alumni. Plus, on race day, the first 1000 participants will receive a t-shirt and participation medal (virtual participants receive a surprise item once they sign up). After the race, there will be awards in all age categories, and with FREE entry to Essex County’s Turtle Back Zoo on event day,  there will be a line-up of family-friendly activities planned at the zoo post-race.
