About the Event

On the crisp morning of October 11, 2026, runners and walkers will converge at Colonial Park for the Diamond 5K Run/Walk. This annual autumn tradition offers participants an invigorating experience through picturesque landscapes and a supportive community atmosphere.
The race starts promptly at 10 AM rain or shine, with routes winding around Mettlers Road in Somerset, New Jersey. Participants can expect to navigate scenic trails that showcase the vibrant foliage of fall, making for a visually stunning backdrop as they run or walk past colorful trees and serene park settings. The course is designed to be accessible yet challenging, featuring rolling hills and flat sections that cater to runners of all skill levels.
For those who prefer walking, this event offers an inclusive environment where every participant can enjoy the day at their own pace while celebrating fitness and community spirit together. With a focus on fun and camaraderie, the Diamond 5K Run/Walk is not just about crossing the finish line but also about enjoying the journey through one of New Jersey's most beautiful parks.
Registration for this year’s event includes access to pre-race festivities such as warm-up stretches led by local fitness instructors. Post-event refreshments and awards ceremonies will celebrate all participants, ensuring everyone feels appreciated regardless of their pace or distance covered.
Join us on October 11th in Colonial Park to experience the joy and beauty of running (or walking) through autumn's splendor at the Diamond 5K Run/Walk.
