North Jersey Pride Run, South Orange NJ
The North Jersey Pride Run is a community 5K and a Kids' Race held in Grove Park, South Orange, New Jersey. The event raises funds for North Jersey Pride, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization that supports LGBTQ youth and families through programming and events across the state and encourages ally involvement.
All registration is online; there are no paper signups. Race day registration is available but carries higher fees and can be completed via a QR code in the park. Published fees include a 5K rate of $25 for participants 18 and older and $15 for participants under 18, with higher race day pricing. The Kids' Race entry fee is listed separately.
The 5K is USATF certified and begins and ends in Grove Park. The event welcomes runners and walkers of varying ages and speeds, and allows strollers and pets that are capable of the 5K distance. The Kids' Race is for children ages 3 to 9 and may be divided into heats with adjusted distances based on age.
Awards are given by age group and include the top three finishers within each of the three gender categories: female, male, and nonbinary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
