NJ FMBA Fallen Heroes 5K
The NJ FMBA Fallen Heroes 5K Memorial Run is an annual event held in Lake Como, New Jersey. This memorial race takes place to honor those who have served and identifies as a tribute to fallen heroes. The event features a variety of distances suitable for different interests:
- 5 km Run/Walk
- 1 mile Fun Run/Walk (non-competitive)
- 50 yard Children's Dash
The 5 km course is described as flat and fast, beginning and ending at the Bar Anticipation on 16th Avenue. The route includes a loop around Lake Como. This specific distance is recognized as a USATF Grand Prix Event worth 500 points. Participants in the 5k can compete for individual awards in five-year age groups or within specific categories such as Law Enforcement, Firefighter, EMS, Teacher, and Military. Team competitions are also available for Open, Law Enforcement, and Firefighter divisions.
For those seeking a less competitive experience, the 1 mile Fun Run/Walk follows a portion of the main course. Children can participate in the Little Heroes Children's Dash, which consists of a 50-yard sprint located directly in front of the venue. The event is scheduled to take place rain or shine.
