Join us at 9am on Saturday, September 26th on the iconic Newstead 5K course, starting at the South Mountain Annex and running through the beautiful Newstead neighborhood!!!
Participants will receive a race T-shirt and collapsible cup (while supplies last).
The Newstead 5K prides itself on being a family-friendly event. Strollers are welcome but no pets please. There will also be two events exclusively for the kids. Shortly after the completion of the 5K, we will have a "Toddler Dash" on the lawn near the Annex perfect for kids ages 4 and under. After the completion of the dash, the 1/2 mile Kid's Fun Run will commence on the closed road in front of the Annex.
On Saturday, September 26, something powerful will happen when sneakers hit the pavement and purpose takes the lead.
At the I Run for Girls 5K Run/Walk event, community meets cause, passion meets purpose, and every participant plays a part in lifting girls up. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, your presence makes a difference—and your steps help girls go further than they ever imagined.
And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! This event brings a vibrant, festival-like atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy. From a live DJ spinning upbeat tunes to keep the energy high, to free food and beverages to refuel and recharge, there’s something for everyone. Kids can dive into hands-on crafts and activities, while friends and families soak in the festive spirit. It’s more than a run—it’s a celebration filled with music, laughter, and unforgettable moments for all ages.
We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
Old Man Run Club was born in 2018 when three friends, tired of joking about their age while running through New York City, decided to turn those jokes into something real. After the NYC Marathon that year, they sent a group email with a simple ask: who wants to run long? Everyone showed up. Today, around 50 runners, many of them women despite the name, gather every Saturday at Urban Studios to run distances from 9 to 22 miles. Founded on the belief that long distances should feel approachable, not intimidating, OMRC has become a grounded community where honest miles and good company matter more than pace or experience. No gatekeeping, no pressure, just runners who understand what it means to go the distance together.
