About the Event

Registration begins at 8 am. The race starts at 9:00 am
Run 5k or walk 1 mile to help us raise $75,000 for the Addiction Recovery Ministries at America’s Keswick.

Runners will appreciate the flatness of the course however please be mindful of the large rocks and tree roots during the wooded portions of the race. Runners will follow the orange trail marked by ribbon and course marshals. The course will start by taking you around our beautiful campus, traveling around our lower lake with a wide path of rocks and gravel. Runners will continue to follow the orange trail markers leading them into a more narrow trail area of the Pine Barrens through the woods. This will take them around the upper lake, eventually leading them back out through the woods to get to the finish line on pavement. There will be water stations and volunteers placed at certain course points to help direct runners as needed.
