Statue of Liberty 5K
The Statue of Liberty 5K takes place on July 11, 2026 at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. The event supports Special Olympics New Jersey and its year-round sports training, athletic competition, leadership opportunities, and health screenings for athletes with intellectual disabilities. The field is limited to 500 runners.
Distance options include:
- 5K - this portion is not officially timed.
- 3K walk option - for participants who prefer a shorter route.
Special Olympics New Jersey runs programs and services at no cost to participants; fundraising from this event helps cover those expenses. Example impacts listed by the organizer include $25 to cover the cost of ten gold medals, $50 to send one athlete to Fall Games, and $100 to provide an adaptive bowling ramp.
Organizers note that logistics related to the 250th Anniversary celebrations and other planned events are still being finalized. Registration and final event details will be announced after those logistics are confirmed. The event description identifies Liberty State Park as the location and frames the race as a fundraiser and community activity tied to Special Olympics New Jersey.
