Jason's Memorial 5K Run
Jason's Memorial 5K Run is scheduled for 08/30/2026 at the Hillsborough Municipal Building, 379 South Branch Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. The event is organized in memory of a local Hillsborough High School track athlete who died by suicide in 2008 and aims to combine running with community remembrance.
In past years, hundreds of runners of all ages took part. Participants often include those preparing for an upcoming sports season and people who run for enjoyment. The event raises funds for scholarships awarded to Hillsborough High School seniors who are runners and who demonstrate a warm and generous spirit and sportsmanship.
The race distance is 5K. Registration opens on July 16, 2026 and closes on August 30, 2026. The registration fee is $40. The organizers plan to continue awarding two scholarships to HHS students for achievements both on and off the track. Several former teammates and competitors have attended past editions to honor the athlete and support the scholarship effort.
