Event Overview
The Helene Cody Cranbury 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk takes place in Cranbury, New Jersey, starting and finishing at Heritage Park. The event was established to honor the memory of a local student and athlete who intended to restart the town's historical 5K race. Organized by the Helene Cody Foundation, the race serves to connect the local community while supporting charitable initiatives.
Participants can choose between two distinct distances:
- 5K
- 1 Mile
The event functions as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization. Proceeds are directed toward the Helene Cody Foundation, which provides scholarships and funds youth-led community service projects specifically benefiting the Central New Jersey area.
Participants who complete their registration by early August are guaranteed an event t-shirt. For those registering after this period, shirts are distributed based on remaining availability. To facilitate a smoother experience on the day of the race, pre-registered participants have the option to attend packet pickup sessions held in the days leading up to the event at locations such as Fleet Feet Princeton and the Princeton Soup and Sandwich Company in Cranbury. On-site packet pickup is also available at the park before each race begins. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
