Event Overview

The Jazmine T. Bryant Brighter Day 5k Run/Walk is an outdoor athletic event held at Washington Lake Park in Sewell, New Jersey. The event takes place rain or shine and supports mental health access and awareness for minority and underserved communities. Participants can choose between two primary distances:

  • 5k Run
  • 1 Mile Walk

Course and Location

The event is held within Washington Lake Park, which spans 330 acres and is the largest municipal park in New Jersey. The 5k course is accurately measured and leads runners through the park landscape. Both the start and finish lines are located near the park Amphitheater. For those attending, parking is available in Lot E, as it is the closest lot to the Amphitheater area.

Timing and Recognition

The 5k run is professionally timed using chip timing technology. The 1 Mile walk is a non-timed event. Recognition is provided for top performers in the 5k category, including cash prizes for the first-place overall male and female winners. Additionally, awards are given to the top male and female finishers across various age groups, ranging from 14 and under to 60 and over. Overall winners are determined by gun time, while age group awards are based on chip time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
