Location: Downtown Jersey City

Friends, neighbors, and changemakers —
I’m lacing up for the NYRR Jersey City 5K this October, and I’m inviting you to join me in more than just a race. This is about coming together as a community, supporting one another, and showing what Jersey City is made of.

This run is more than a flat course and a beautiful view of the waterfront — it’s a chance to strengthen the bonds in our neighborhoods, inspire healthier living, and uplift those who need a reminder that they’re not alone.

When you run or walk alongside me, you’re not only enjoying an incredible event; you’re also contributing to programs that make a real difference — from youth running initiatives to community wellness programs that give people of all ages a place to belong.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Sign up for the race and run with me.
• Invite your family and friends to cheer us on.
• Share this event and spread the word about our community’s strength.
   

Let’s fill the streets of Jersey City with energy, encouragement, and pride. Together, we can turn every step into a step forward for our community.

See you at the starting line!
