Event summary

Get ready for a wonderful day of community spirit and fitness at the Family Promise of Essex County 5K Run/Walk and Team Stroll on Sunday, May 5, 2024! This exciting event will take place at Brookdale Park, nestled in the charming townships of Montclair and Bloomfield, Essex. The USATF-certified race kicks off at 8:30 AM, followed by a delightful Team Stroll starting at 10:30 AM. Families are encouraged to participate, with a special 100-yard Kid's Fun Run for children under 12 taking place between the two events.

Join us in supporting a great cause, as all proceeds benefit Family Promise of Essex County, an organization dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk families achieve self-sufficiency. With a fundraising goal of $50,000, your participation and donations will make a real difference in the lives of families in need. Don’t forget to don your brightest attire to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and be in the running for fabulous prizes for the top male and female finishers! Register before April 20 to secure your event T-shirt and get ready to stride for a brighter future in Essex County!
