Bagel Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

Race morning finds runners gathering at historic Washington Park, located at 4th Street & Highwater Street in downtown Camden, just steps away from the picturesque Delaware River waterfront. The crisp autumn air on October mornings makes for a perfect start to the day, with temperatures around 15°C (60°F) and minimal humidity. The course follows the river path, offering scenic views of the city skyline as runners navigate through winding streets and green spaces.
Since its inception in 2018, this event has become an integral part of Camden’s running community, supporting local charities and fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants. Over the years, it has attracted hundreds of registrants each year, making it one of the most anticipated races on the regional calendar.
The course venue is along the river path in Washington Park, starting at 4th Street & Highwater Street. Runners traverse a flat and smooth surface that includes gentle curves and well-marked turns to ensure safety. Wave A begins at 7:30 AM, followed by Waves B and C at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM respectively; late runners can join upon arrival until the coordinators leave three hours after the first wave.
Weather conditions on race morning are expected to be mild with temperatures ranging from a minimum of 10°C (50°F) to a maximum of 21°C (70°F), feeling much like that due to low humidity at around 64%. The average wind speed is about 11 km/h, which provides a gentle breeze rather than a strong headwind. Precipitation risk is minimal, making the day ideal for outdoor running.
The race offers distances of 5K (3.1 miles), 10K (6.2 miles), and 13.1 miles (half-marathon). For those seeking to run with their families, there's a fun Family 1 Mile Fun Run also available. Participants can register virtually for the 5K option as well.
