7th ANNUAl 5,000 STRIDES…
A 5K For The American Family

THE EVENT

The 2009 5,000 Strides was a great success as over 300 participants joined us a on clear, warm June night. The 7th annual version will be staged at the very convenient Ginty Field Complex in Morris Township. Our course has one hill and still runs very fast with only 8 turns. With plenty of nearby parking, great amenities and a super cause, the 2010 5,000 Strides figures to be great fun for all.

The companion 2 Mile Walk and Kids' Strides make 5,000 Strides an event for everyone so bring the whole family and all of your friends. Please mark your race calendar for Monday night, June 14th and head for the start line conveniently located close to Routes 287, 80, 206, 202 and 24. The DJ is waiting for you!
