"Go Gold" with Gracie's Army Foundation! September is National Pediatric Awareness Month and we would love nothing more than to show our support to families in the battle of their lives. We will have a beautiful and scenic USATF-NJ sanctioned course set up for a 5K, 1 mile Fun Run/Walk, and a 40 yard dash. Come and support this beautiful community event in Montville Township. The race will start at the Montville Township High School track and go through neighborhoods ultimately finishing back at the track.

Participating in fundraisers like a 5K is a great way to show a childhood cancer hero your support and raise critical funds for research, empower people to give back, and show support for families who need it the most!

We are working with major corporate sponsorships and are projecting at least 500+ runners. Enjoy food trucks, local vendors, and awards given out to cancer survivors and race winners.

  • RUNNERS and WALKERS of all ages welcome

  • Family-friendly fun!

  • Awards for top 3 male and female finishers

  • Recognition ceremony (children with cancer)

  • Adults $35 pre-race registration fee until 9/5, $40 after 9/1
