5K Race for Recovery on the Boardwalk
The 5K Race for Recovery on the Boardwalk is an annual event held in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Formerly known as the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission 5K Race & Family Walk, the event takes place on the Ocean Grove Boardwalk. This gathering serves as a fundraiser for the Market Street Mission, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to individuals experiencing hunger, homelessness, and addiction.
Participants can choose from several different event formats:
- 5K Race
- VIP 5K Package
- 2 Mile Family Walk
- Kids Fun Run (open to ages 2-10)
- Virtual 5K
The Market Street Mission is a 501(c)3 organization that operates without government funding. The proceeds from the race support structured programs designed to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those in the community who are striving for recovery.
The course is located directly on the boardwalk, offering a seaside environment for runners and walkers. A virtual option is also available for those who wish to participate from other locations. Amenities such as a race store and team incentives are provided, and participants have the option to join or create teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
