River Rock 'N Run 5K 2026
River Rock 'N Run is a riverfront running event held on November 22, 2026, at River Rock Restaurant and Marina Bar in Brick, New Jersey. The event offers a solo 5K and a team relay option that together use the same course by running repeated loops.
Distances:
- 5K run on a two-loop course
- Relay with two 1.5 mile legs to complete the team 5K
For the relay, one runner starts with a baton and completes a 1.5 mile loop, then hands the baton to the second runner who completes the second 1.5 mile loop. Results include individual split times and a team finish time. Participants may choose divisions for relay teams including Family, Co-Worker, Male, Female, Mixed, and Student.
Proceeds from the event are donated to Fulfill, the Monmouth / Ocean County foodbank, timed for the Thanksgiving season. Race registration opens May 10, 2026 and closes August 9, 2026; listed registration fees are $30 for the 5K and $20 per relay team member. The event is capped at 250 participants and t-shirts are guaranteed for the first 200 registrants. Bib pickup is handled inside River Rock Restaurant prior to the event. Age group awards are presented during the post-race food service provided by River Rock Restaurant. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
