Cherry Blossom Welcome Center, Newark NJ
Saturday, September 20th, 2025
In honor of the Boys & Girls Club Day for Kids, our 5th annual 5K to Wellness is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th, 2025, at the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center in Branch Brook Park, Newark, NJ.
The Boys & Girls Club of Newark (BGCN) is an after-school program in Newark. We are more than an after-school program. We believe in supporting children from a holistic approach.
Our first 5K fundraiser in 2021, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic that illuminated more access to care, allowed us to hire an additional wellness support staff to expand our wellness program.
BGCN requests your support to make our 5th annual 5K to Wellness a success!
When you race with us, you will get cool stuff, too! You will receive a t-shirt and a 5K run/walk finisher medal. The race will take place on a USATF-certified course and is sanctioned.
Age Group Awards (M&F Overall Top 3, 15 & under, 16 - 19, 20 - 29, 30 - 39, 40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60 - 69, 70 +)
Join us, as we would love to take a 5K run/walk to Wellness with you!
