3 fun run events in Jersey City, New Jersey

Join us for the 29th Annual Saint Dominic Academy Spring Thaw 5K!

Support Athletics at the Academy while enjoying a fun run (or walk!). All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt.

Your participation does more than just get you across the finish line—it directly powers the SDA Athletic Fund. Every registration fee and sponsorship dollar goes toward upgrading team equipment, providing travel opportunities, and expanding the competitive programs that define the student-athlete experience at SDA. By running with us, you are ensuring our athletes have the tools they need to train harder, play safer, and represent our school with pride.

Day of Registration and Packet Pick-Up:

Online registration is open through race day; however, race-day registration will be $45. Please note that t-shirts are limited for day-of registrants.

Bib and t-shirt pick-up begins at 12:00 p.m. on the day of the run.

📍 Race Location:

Lincoln Park | 1 County Rd 605 | Jersey City, NJ 07304

We can’t wait to see you there! Register today!
