5 running, fun run, and walking events in Hoboken, New Jersey

Party With Purpose 5K is back! As one of the biggest races in Hoboken, this event supports local youth charities, including Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County, HOPES, Mile Square Theater and Community Lifestyle. After the kids of the Boys and Girls Club and other charities have their fun in the afternoon, the evening kicks off with 500+ runners on Pier A with the best waterfront views during the 5K. Immediately upon finishing the race, our after party begins! The live DJ and a beer/wine garden along the pier is a great way for volunteers and runners alike to end a successful night.
