Bob Hendricks Memorial 5k Run/Walk

Now in our 28th year, we invite you to run or walk at Duke Island Park for our youth's future on April 18th, 2026.

We literally have something for everyone!

Our sanctioned 5K is for everyone from the competitive runner to the joyful walker. USATF-NJ members can earn 500 points in the 2025 Grand Prix competition. For those not up for the full 3.1 miles, register for our 2 Mile Walk. Busy that day? We've got a virtual event.

Keeping the kids sprints!

While a 5K brings excitement to the day, kids sprinting brings pure joy. Children aged 2 to 7 are grouped with those who are the same age and tasked with sprinting to the finish line. It's the real experience with bib and finisher medal. Registration is $10.

This event is as much about community as it is fundraising. If you are struggling to pay our registration fees, please email courtney-newman@comcast.net for financial assistance.

Lace up your sneakers and soak up the vibes at the Golden Hour 5K, where fitness meets fun and the finish line leads straight to a party.

Choose your pace with a 3K walk or 5K run, perfect for seasoned runners, casual walkers, kids, adults, and everyone in between. Come for the movement, stay for the celebration.

When you cross the finish line, the real fun begins. Your registration includes an after-hours BBQ dinner and pool party, complete with:

• Open swim and playful pool games

• DJ spinning summer favorites

• Crafts and activities for kids

• A laid-back, golden-hour glow that feels like the start of summer

Advance registration is encouraged. Space is unlimited, but the fun is best enjoyed when you plan ahead.
