Starting Point 5K

Starting Point 5K and Walk returns on November 1 at Cooper River Park in Camden County, New Jersey, around Jack Curtis Stadium (5300 N Park Dr, Pennsauken). The event offers a 5K Run and a 1-Mile Walk, a powerful community gathering centered on hope, healing, and resilience. Proceeds benefit Starting Point, a nonprofit providing accessible counseling, addiction recovery support, and wellness services.

Participants run in honor of loved ones or walk to champion mental wellness and recovery, with every step helping to break stigma. The race uses a USATF-certified course with chip timing, a finish-line video, and rapid e-text results; awards include top overall and age-group honors. Bib pickup is at the Haddonfield Running Company. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
