A water stop will also be available, and you will pass there twice at Miles 1.5 and 4.

Now in our 28th year, we invite you to run or walk at Duke Island Park for our youth's future on April 18th, 2026.

We literally have something for everyone!

Our sanctioned 5K is for everyone from the competitive runner to the joyful walker. USATF-NJ members can earn 500 points in the 2025 Grand Prix competition. For those not up for the full 3.1 miles, register for our 2 Mile Walk. Busy that day? We've got a virtual event.

Keeping the kids sprints!

While a 5K brings excitement to the day, kids sprinting brings pure joy. Children aged 2 to 7 are grouped with those who are the same age and tasked with sprinting to the finish line. It's the real experience with bib and finisher medal. Registration is $10.

This event is as much about community as it is fundraising. If you are struggling to pay our registration fees, please email courtney-newman@comcast.net for financial assistance.

Charity Beneficiary:

Live Run Give LLC is a race production company founded in 2019. We founded our company on the principal of bringing families and friends together for fitness and food while giving back to our community. We are committed to supporting breast cancer research and organizations that help give support to breast cancer patients. Each year, we select 2-3 not for profits to be charity beneficiaries of our races.

Our beneficiary for this event is : Metavivor. A portion of our proceeds and all donations will go directly to Metavivor. We picked this charity because Metavivor is at the forefront of investing in research for metastatic breast cancer, as in breast cancer that has spread to bones, brain, or other vital organs. While those men and women that die from breast cancer almost always have metastatic disease, currently only 2-5% of funds raised for breast cancer research are allocated for Stage 4.

In honor of my best friend Lynette the matriarchs of my family Mama Ceci, Mama Olga, Mama Chicho, and my aunt Delia and the dozens of other women who inspire to give to breast cancer charities.

What is a Tunnel to Towers Climb?

The Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk & Climb Series was created to honor the heroic life and death of StephenSiller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. We honor all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and support our first responders and military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty! For more information on the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, please visit t2t.org.

How much of the stadium do I have to climb?

You will be following the aisles through the stadium seating, starting in Section 1 and climbing up, down and around to the other side of the stadium at least 5 times (Approx. 2,200 ft of “track”). Click on the link below for an overview of the stadium. Volunteers will be guiding the Climbers.

Is this a timed climb?

Yes, we will have a timing company on site this year to time our climbers.

Can climbers stop on a landing to catch their breath?

Yes, but please try to stop at the top of the aisles in the concourse where there is more room for other climbers to continue around you. Slower climbers should move to the right, allowing faster climbers to pass on the left.

I might get tired and be unable to finish, what should I do?

No problem, this is a challenge by choice event. If you are in need of medical assistance, please ask a volunteer for help.

I want to participate, but I'm not sure if stairs are for me. Can I still participate?

Yes! Participants who do not wish to climb stairs are welcome to walk at one of the designated areas of the stadium as a way of participating as well. The concourse is wheelchair accessible as well.
