7 running events in West Orange, New Jersey

On Saturday, September 26, something powerful will happen when sneakers hit the pavement and purpose takes the lead.

At the I Run for Girls 5K Run/Walk event, community meets cause, passion meets purpose, and every participant plays a part in lifting girls up. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, your presence makes a difference—and your steps help girls go further than they ever imagined.

And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! This event brings a vibrant, festival-like atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy. From a live DJ spinning upbeat tunes to keep the energy high, to free food and beverages to refuel and recharge, there’s something for everyone. Kids can dive into hands-on crafts and activities, while friends and families soak in the festive spirit. It’s more than a run—it’s a celebration filled with music, laughter, and unforgettable moments for all ages.

We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
