The West Deptford 5K & Backpack Drive is a community run/walk bringing neighbors together to give back to local students. Participants are encouraged to bring a new backpack or school supplies to support West Deptford kids heading into the new school year. Whether you're a seasoned runner or pushing a stroller, there's a place for you at the starting line.
