Love for Luca 5K Run/Walk : Middletown, NJ
The Love for Luca 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run take place on September 20, 2026 at Middletown North High School in Middletown, New Jersey. This edition is the fifth and final event held in memory of a local boy who died in November 2019 after a diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
Race options include:
- 5K Run/Walk (timed)
- Kids Fun Run Dash Races
Registration opens May 8, 2026. The 5K registration closes June 27, 2026. Kids race registration remains open through the event date. Stated entry fees are $30.00 for the 5K and $15.00 for the kids races.
All proceeds from the event will be given to the local non-profit Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer. That organization provides pediatric cancer treatment research grants and offers financial and emotional aid to children and families undergoing cancer treatment. The event materials note that less than 4% of the federal cancer research budget is dedicated to childhood cancer, and fundraising supports organizations addressing that gap.
The event description focuses on commemorating the child’s life through an athletic event and directing funds to pediatric cancer support and research. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
