We are very excited to bring back the Elephant Run for its second year! In our first year we had 255 participants and raised over $16,000 for Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Please join us again this year to help this amazing cause!

Our Story

My name is Fiona Curran and I am organizing the Elephant Run 5K for its second year in memory of my grandparents, Barbara and Neil Curran. I sadly lost both of them to cancer and this race is to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber provided excellent care to both my grandparents during their battles with cancer. With this fundraiser, I hope to advance cancer research and make a difference. ​If you are unable to participate in the event donations are very appreciated.

Why Jimmy Fund?​

Our Jimmy FundRaiser directly benefits the Jimmy Fund, which has raised millions of dollars through thousands of grassroots efforts to help save lives and give hope to patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. When you participate or make a gift, you’re directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s mission to defy cancer through a unique focus on cutting-edge research and compassionate patient cancer care. You are creating opportunities for Dana-Farber leaders to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult cancer patients and their families around the world.

Certified 5K on beautiful somewhat hilly local roads through Park Ridge, NJ. Open to all ages! There will be food, music, and more at the finish line!

The Hastings Color Run is a fundraiser, hosted by the Hastings on Hudson PTSA. During this 5K fun run, runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder every 1K. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race covered in color!

As you run/walk/dance through the course, you will get showered in safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered dye at every zone…turning you into a moving target of fun!

The 2026 Unified 5k and AdaptXpo is an inclusive road race and adaptive sports expo designed so that everyone can participate, whether they run, walk, row, or roll. The event raises critical funds for AdaptX education, research, community events, fitness programming, and grant initiatives. The Unified 5k is a space where athletes with and without disabilities show up together, challenge perceptions, and prove that fitness and sport are more meaningful when everyone has a place at the starting line.

Join us on May 3rd at Push to Walk for our 1st annual event where you can walk, run, roll, or row either the 5k (3.1 mile) or 1 mile course. Arrive early or hang around after the event to check out our vendors and clinics at the AdaptXpo, a celebration of organizations that focus on health, inclusion, accessibility, assistive technology, and adaptive sports.

Push to Walk enables people with spinal cord injuries and paralysis to have a brighter future with innovative, specialized treatments.

Help us make fitness and physical activity accessible for every body.
