LEISURE WALK/2K WALK / VIRTUAL – 10:00 a.m.

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 [email protected] for financial assistance.

The 5th Annual Run4Rare is set to return on May 16, 2026 at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater, NJ. This race is rain or shine.

Aubrie Rowland is 7 year old Raritan resident attending Second Grade at Milltown Primary School in Bridgewater, NJ. She was born with an ultra-rare Mitochondrial Disease, Leukoencephalopathy with Ovarian Failure (LKENP). This condition is terminal and has no cure. This run is hosted by Aubrie's mom, Ashley Rowland who is the Co-Founder of CureARS.

​CureARS is a parent organization (founded by two mom's) supporting families and funding research that could lead to life-saving treatments for their children and others affected by mtARS disorders.
