Whether youre a competitive or recreational runner, a seasoned or novice walker, or just looking to meet up, have fun, and do good, the annual BLOOMIN 5K Run/1 Mile Walk is for you! St. Peters Haven, a nonsectarian nonprofit and Cliftons only food pantry and homeless family shelter will host BLOOMIN at 8:30 AM on April 27, 2025 with help from our Run-To partner, the Clifton Road Runners Club. http://www.cliftonroadrunners.com/ [http://www.cliftonroadrunners.com/]

While the City of Clifton works on long-term solutions through a community-wide task force, proceeds from BLOOMIN will help St. Peters Haven to address more immediate needs, providing families and individuals in need with food and a pathway to greater independence and safe, stable housing. BLOOMIN will feature a USATF-NJ sanctioned/certified course with Grand Prix status, a dog and stroller friendly walk, music, food, and fun activities for kids.

It's a fast 5K course with a downhill finish. Cash prizes for overall best. Beat the fastest time of 14:57.3 (Men) or 19:42.5 (Women) for additional cash prize. The 1 Mile Walk is a comfortable 3 times around Main Memorial Pond. The Marketplace will have a DJ, Carb Station, Flower Station, Kids Activity Station and more.
