On Your Mark.....Get Set....Go!

Join us for a fun and fast 5K scenic course, a fit-friendly 2K Walk, and then stay for the best pizza in town -- graciously donated by Brother's Pizza on Route 33 in Hamilton. The 2K Health Walk is for participants who prefer walking. Bring your family, friends and colleagues to walk towards better and improved health while having a great time.


Presented by Sean's Landscaping, the 17th Annual 5K Run/2K Health Walk is for all ages and benefits Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton's Stroke Program.
