Run for Breast Cancer 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

About the Event

The Run for Breast Cancer returns to Camden, New Jersey on December 12th, 2026. Participants can choose from the 5K, 10K, half-marathon (13.1 miles), and a family-friendly 1-mile fun run. For those unable to join in person, there’s also a virtual option available.
Race enthusiasts gather at Camden's historic Riverside Park on West Avenue by the waterfront for the start of this community-supported event. The atmosphere is vibrant with encouragement from volunteers stationed along the course and refreshments provided by local businesses.
This race has grown significantly since its 2013 inception, becoming an annual tradition that brings together thousands to support those affected by breast cancer. Runners will traverse scenic paths through Riverside Park on a loop course starting at West Avenue. The route includes two aid stations offering water for hydration and an additional support point near mile six for half-marathon participants.
Weather conditions predict temperatures ranging from -0.3°C to 7.0°C, with a feels-like temperature of around 0.5°C due to high humidity (70.7%). A steady wind at 10.9 km/h may make the race feel cooler in exposed areas.
Participants can register for distances starting at $35.00 and up to $45.00, with early bird pricing ending on November 1st. Race bibs and swag are provided at Riverside Park, including a running T-shirt (shipped directly), finisher’s towel or giveaway item, medal, digital training pack, online results, certificate of completion, and an invitation to join local running clubs.
Early packet pickup is available with your shirt shipped direct to your US mailing address. Alternatively, arrive by 7:30 AM on race day for easy access based on a first-come, first-served basis at Riverside Park.
The event welcomes runners of all ages; under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. First-timers are advised to ensure they have properly fitted running shoes and are well-hydrated before the start time to avoid any last-minute issues.
This race is a powerful way not only to support breast cancer awareness but also to experience the community-driven atmosphere that makes every step count towards a better future.
