50th Annual Belmar 5 Mile Run
Presented by the Goodwill Hose Co., the Borough of Belmar & the Jersey Shore Running Club 
Saturday, September 5, 2026 – 8:00 AM

Please join us for the 50th Annual Belmar 5 Mile Run along the beautiful Belmar oceanfront and local streets while helping to raise money for the Goodwill Hose Co.  The Belmar 5 Mile is one of the largest road races in New Jersey, with more than 3000 participants each year.  This event has something for everyone - from our premier event - the 5 Mile Run - to the Kid's Races for our littlest runners on Friday, September 4th! 

The Goodwill Hose Fire Company is a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to provide emergency fire and rescue services to residents and visitors to the Borough of Belmar 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The squad relies on charitable contributions raised by this fundraiser to help defray some of the operating costs of the fire company.  Please consider a donation. 

Race bib will be mailed out if you register by July 31st
(Does not include Kids' Races - pickup bib with t-shirt during race week)
