Organiser's Description
JOIN US FOR THE 3RD ANNUAL STRIDES FOR SAFETY 5K AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE!
The Office of the Hudson County Executive invites you to: Save the Date for the 3rd Annual Strides for Safety 5K Against Gun Violence!
Our new Hudson County Executive, Craig Guy, spent two decades working on a range of philanthropic events for the County before taking elective office. This initiative is near and dear to his heart, as he served as a member of the JCPD for twenty five yearsseeing first-hand the awful impact of gun violence on our community.
"We need to truly work together as a community if we are going to end gun violence," said County Executive Guy. "That means forging an effective coalition of parents, young people, religious leaders, committed advocates and law enforcement, all working together to build a County where everyone can thrive, free from the fear of gun violence."
The Strides for Safety 5k is the rallying point to raise awareness about what is being done to end gun violence and provide an opportunity for everyone to get involved. More than a single event, the Strides for Safety race is a dynamic platform to support and celebrate community organizations working to build peace and bring out the best of our city.
At this event, we are inviting our Hudson County community to run (or walk) to raise awareness and end gun violence here on our home front and across the U.S.
This year, we are debuting a NEW USATF-CERTIFIED 5K COURSE showcasing our beautiful Lincoln Park in Jersey City! Following the race, we will host runners/walkers and their families at the After Party which will include an awards ceremony for our runners, musical entertainment, family activities, local safety community organizations, and health-focused vendors offering yoga classes, smoothies, and massages. Lets not forget light bites and refreshments!
Hope to see you there, Saturday, September 21, 2024 - Lincoln Park, Jersey City!
