The Waldwick Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce we will be hosting the 16th Annual Waldwick Chamber of Commerce 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk on Sunday, May 5, 2024. This year's race theme will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

Are you up for the Challenge?  Register for the challenge here on Runsignup, beat your finishing time from last year and win a W5K Run Commemorative Challenge Coin! 

Our USATF-NJ sanctioned and Paul Miller Grand Prix event offers a fast, scenic course through Waldwick Borough Park and finishing on the high school track. Enjoy our 40 + motivational signs along the course. We know you'll love our special commemorative t-shirts, Cinco de Mayo commemorative  medals for bracket winners, and most sought-after goody backpack bags. Goody back pack bags given to the first 400 registered runners or walkers. Special commemorative tech t-shirts "guaranteed" to those who register by April  26th. All others given while supplies last.  This race has a special brand of race-day spirit and good karma. We hope you can join us for one of the most spirited races in New Jersey! 

A portion of the proceeds from the W5K Run will be donated to The Christopher Goodell Scholarship Fund, The Staff Sgt. Joseph D’Augustine Memorial Fund, The Sean Fisher Foundation, Waldwick High School Scholarship Fund, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation as well as a number of other community volunteer and veteran organizations. We will once again support and partner with  Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation whose mission statement is to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

Last year, through the generous support of our sponsors, participants and volunteers we were able to donate $36,000 to 40 organizations within our community area.

Always in our hearts, this race is dedicated to honor our fallen heroes: Marine SSgt. Joseph D’ Augustine, Sgt. Christopher Goodell (WPD), and Marine Gunnery Sgt. Mark Hopkins. 

As always we will continue to monitor New Jersey Health guidelines regarding COVID restrictions. Safety precautions will be addressed and implemented if needed.  The health, safety and well-being of our runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators are first and foremost in our minds
