St Cecilia's LIFE Runners Pro-Life 5K
The St Cecilia's LIFE Runners Pro-Life 5K is a fundraising running event held on 10/25/2026 at Central Park in Morris Plains, New Jersey (1 Governor Chris Christie Drive, Morris Plains, NJ 07950). The event supports the Saint John Paul II Respect Life Ministry at St Cecilia's Parish in Rockaway, NJ.
The fundraiser is organized by St. Cecilia's LIFE Runners, a local chapter and affiliate of the nationwide LIFE Runners organization. The 5K has been held annually since 2013, with pauses for the COVID-19 pandemic and in 2024. Previously run as a non-timed event through the streets of Morristown, the 5K is presented this year as a professionally timed cross-country course.
The event typically brings together participants from parishes and churches in the region, including families, young people, adults and older supporters. Opening prayers and remarks are led by a diocesan bishop.
Proceeds benefit local charitable work by the Saint John Paul II Respect Life Ministry. The ministry provides material, practical, financial and spiritual support to single mothers facing crisis pregnancies and to non-profit shelters assisting single mothers. Support has included shelter care, food, clothing, cash and other assistance for mothers and young babies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
