Sirens and Sneakers 5K

Whether you’re a competitive or recreational runner, an experienced or beginner walker, or just looking to meet up and do something fun, the Annual Randolph Rocks 5K Run/1K Fun Run is for you! Bring your friends, family and neighbors and join us to help support an amazing organization: Randolph Education Foundation (REF). REF, a nonprofit organization that supports the Randolph Township School District will host Randolph Rocks 5K/1K on May 30, 2026 at the Randolph High School Wellness Center (511 Millbrook Avenue; Randolph, NJ 07869). The 1K Fun Run begins at 8:30 AM and the 5K Race will start at 8:45 AM. Roads close at 8:15 AM so please make it to Randolph High School by 8:15 AM.

Can't make it with us in-person for the event? You're in luck! You can also register for a Virtual 5K Race instead. This can be completed whenever you would like between May 30 and June 6, 2026. Participants can run, walk or hike the 5K. If you want to do it all at once you can, or you can break it up and do it over a few days. Where you complete it is up to you. Your local neighborhood, a park, a hiking trail, or a treadmill are all great options! Grab a friend, family member, or just yourself and go have some fun!
