Project Purple Pretzel Run
The event is a community 5K run or walk held at Nomahegan Park in Cranford, New Jersey, located at 995 Springfield Ave. The course is described as flat and fast, with scenic views of ponds and morning wildlife. The listed distance is 5K.
Registration opens February 20, 2026 and closes April 13, 2026; the registration fee is $35.00. Packet pick-up is scheduled for July 11 with additional day-of packet pick-up available; organizers note that participants should arrive early to allow time for parking and restroom use. Late arrivals will not be permitted to start due to road closures.
At minimum one water stop will be provided, with water available near mile 1.5. All finishers receive a medal and a shirt while supplies last, plus a pretzel. The event’s proceeds will benefit Project Purple, a nonprofit that focuses on pancreatic cancer awareness, research, and patient support; the organization has been active in this work since 2010.
Additional logistical details such as exact packet pick-up times and other race-day arrangements are to be announced by the organizers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
