Bayonne Turkey Trot 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

Forget the frantic pace of the race clock and the crowded corrals - The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series is bringing a different kind of energy to the pavement. From April through September, we’re hosting 5 laid-back, community-first tours of NYC that’s more about the miles and the memories than the podium. Whether you’re looking to cruise through a scenic 10K or stretch your legs with a steady 10-Miler, or even a easy 5K walk/run, these runs are designed to let you soak in the local flavor of every borough at your own speed. No timing chips, no pressure, just great routes, better company, and a shared journey toward those running goals.

We are kicking off the season on Staten Island, the home of the Wu-Tang Clan, with the first of our runs. Please meet us at the parking lot by 7:30 AM; wheels up (and feet moving!) at 8:00 AM sharp.

Please note: this will not be a race, but instead a collaborative long run. To keep things low-key and focused on the miles, we will not be providing bibs or timing the run. We encourage everyone to track their own miles on Strava or Garmin.

8K Road Race | 1.5 Mile Run/Walk | Liz Kid's Run

The ELIZABETH 8K is a family-friendly event with a competitive edge, held each spring in Charlotte, NC. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the race has become a beloved local tradition, drawing more than 1,300 runners in recent years to experience one of the city’s oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods.

Starting and finishing just off Elizabeth Avenue, the course winds through the historic, tree-lined streets that make this event a Charlotte favorite. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just out for a good time, there’s something for everyone:

An 8K timed race: Whether you’re a competitive runner going for some of the best awards in Charlotte or a casual runner looking to enjoy a scenic course, this timed event offers a fantastic tour of the Elizabeth neighborhood’s residential and commercial streets.

A 1.5M untimed run/walk: Great for casual participants and young competitive runners alike—walk with friends, jog with your kids, or let the next generation test their speed on a fun, approachable course through the neighborhood.

The Liz Kids’ Fun Run: A free, ~50-yard dash for children six and under. This fan and parent favorite is the perfect way for the little ones to join the excitement—no registration needed, just show up ready to run!

SPONSORS. We’re deeply grateful to our local, regional, and national sponsors whose support makes the Elizabeth 8K possible. Their generosity not only brings this event to life but enhances the experience for every participant. We encourage everyone to thank them by supporting their businesses throughout the year.

BENEFICIARIES. Proceeds benefit the beautification of the Elizabeth Community Association, and TreesCharlotte, a public/private nonprofit dedicated to growing, diversifying, and stewarding Charlotte’s iconic urban forest.

We are at it again, going against the grain and bringing you a more wholesome LESS Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon! For any runner that has been told they can not run the Brooklyn Half Marathon by those less friendly and way too over crowded running organizations, then run with the Race Guys and crew for a breath taking waterfront property of a race!

The race will be starting promptly at 8:00am. Bib pickup will be held on race morning right at the starting line on the American Veterans Memorial Pier from 6:15am-7:30am. Please do not wait until the last minute so that we can be sure we start the race on time. Come early, get your race day materials and have plenty of time for your pre-race warm ups and routines.
