Runners, history buffs, and families will come together on March 29, 2026, for the Cedar Bridge Tavern 5K.

The race route includes the Cedar Bridge Tavern, a site that played a crucial role in the Revolutionary War.

The RevolutionNJ Race Series draws inspiration from Jonas Cattell’s legendary run to warn American troops of a British attack at Red Bank Battlefield. This race is one of six in the series, with additional events planned at Red Bank Battlefield, Fort Lee Historic Park, Monmouth Battlefield, Princeton Battlefield, and Batsto Village.

Whether running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, participants will experience a race that blends fitness, history, and community celebration. The event offers an interactive way to honor the region’s past.
