Lamp For Haiti 5K
The Lamp For Haiti 5K is a community running event held on 05/02/2027 at Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ (Park Avenue and Lake Street, 07104). The event supports Lamp for Haiti, a Montclair, NJ based 501c3 that operates medical facilities in Haiti and marks its 20th year of providing medical services.
The program features a 5K run with two registration categories: a regular entry fee of $35.00 and a student rate of $15.00. Registration opens on 02/04/2027 at 12:00 and closes on 05/01/2027 at 23:59.
The course is USATF certified and is described as suitable for a mix of more experienced runners and casual walkers. Awards are planned for the top overall male and female finishers and for the top three male and female participants in age groups starting at 18-23 and 24-29, then continuing in five-year increments up to age 80. An awards presentation will take place after the race.
Participants are invited to fundraise for Lamp for Haiti with an encouragement goal of $200 per participant. The top three individual fundraisers will receive special prizes, and fundraising proceeds support services such as women’s health care, child nutrition, x-rays, and medical treatment provided by Lamp for Haiti.
