Newstead 5K: Come run, come all

9/21/2023 6:26 am

The annual Newstead 5K will be held on Saturday, September 30. The race kicks off at 9 a.m. in front of the South Mountain Annex at 112 Glenview Rd. in South Orange. The Newstead 5K benefits the Achieve Foundation, which provides grants, funding, and programming through private donations for South Orange-Maplewood School District kiddos in grades K-12. (Full disclosure: Your newsletter writer is co-directing this race, so I'm biased, but it's one of the best local 5Ks you'll ever run!)

There is also an accompanying walk and a kids' fun run ( a dash one for the littles 4 and under, and a half-mile out-and-back for the bigs). Lace up your sneakers, velcro your Tiger's sneakers, and come on out for a great day of community-building and raising up our kids. Register for all events here!
