Moving Beyond Abuse 5K Race & Charity Walk

Moving Beyond Abuse 5K Race & Charity Walk is held at Johnson Park, Grove 4, Piscataway, NJ. It features a USATF-certified flat 5K course for runners and an optional one-mile Charity Walk for those who prefer a shorter distance. This year’s event welcomes leashed dogs for the Run/Walk/Wag format, with dogs allowed on the 1-Mile Walk but not on the 5K.

Proceeds benefit Women Aware’s domestic-violence survivor services. Registration: $40 in advance (children 11 and under free); day-of $50. Perks include a swag bag for early registrants, a dog bandana, live music, kids’ activities, and a fall photo backdrop.
