About this event
Start Thanksgiving morning on the Jersey City waterfront with a chip-timed 5K and a family-friendly 1 Mile Fun Run. The flat, scenic course runs along the Hudson River with sweeping views of Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, making it a favorite pre-feast tradition for runners and walkers of every ability. The 1 Mile Fun Run steps off at 9:00 AM and the 5K follows at 10:00 AM, both beginning near the historic Colgate Clock. Entry includes official timing, professional race photos and awards for the top overall and age-group finishers. Register in advance on RunSignup, since the 5K price increases after September 13. A great low-key outing for families, first-timers and anyone wanting to bank some miles before the holiday meal.
