1 Miles 5k Run Walk

Whether you’re a competitive or recreational runner, a seasoned or novice walker, or just looking to meet up, have fun, and do good, the annual BLOOMIN’ 5K Run/1 Mile Walk is for you! St. Peter’s Haven, a nonsectarian nonprofit and Clifton’s only food pantry and homeless family shelter will host BLOOMIN’ at 8:30 AM on April 26, 2026 with help from our “Run-To” partner, the Clifton Road Runners Club. http://www.cliftonroadrunners.com/

While the City of Clifton works on long-term solutions through a community-wide task force, proceeds from BLOOMIN’ will help St. Peter’s Haven to address more immediate needs, providing families and individuals in need with food and a pathway to greater independence and safe, stable housing. BLOOMIN’ will feature a USATF-NJ sanctioned/certified course with Grand Prix status, a dog and stroller friendly walk, music, food, and fun activities for kids.

It's a fast 5K course with a downhill finish. Cash prizes for overall best. Beat the fastest time of 14:57.3 (Men) or 19:42.5 (Women) for additional cash prize. The 1 Mile Walk is a comfortable 3 times around Main Memorial Pond. The Marketplace will have a DJ, Carb Station, Flower Station, Kids Activity Station and more.

    The Valerie Fund relies on the dollars raised to help the children who live in our community. The Walk and 5K Run will support our mission to provide comprehensive health care for children with cancer and blood disorders. Every step you walk or run and every dollar you raise helps at The Valerie Fund Centers. Patients receive far more than treatment for their physical illnesses. Our philosophy is that to truly heal the children with whose care we are entrusted, we must treat them emotionally, socially, and developmentally, as well as medically.
