NJT Namma 5K Run
The NJT Namma 5K Run takes place on May 17, 2026 at Oak Ridge Park in Clark, New Jersey. The event combines a timed 5K race and a one mile fun walk in a family-friendly park setting with playgrounds and picnic areas. Ample parking is available.
A portion of race proceeds will support youth mental health initiatives through a partnership with NAMI New Jersey. The event also sponsors education programs in India through a Sponsor a Child program. The source text notes that nearly one in five children in New Jersey face mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges and that many children globally lack access to education.
