Historic Allentown 5K

Come see beautiful, historic Allentown, New Jersey while running a 5K!

The race will take place at Allentown's Heritage Park, which is known for its gorgeous scenery and its wealth of dirt trails which complement the paved oval trail inside the heart of the park. The entire race will take place inside the park and runners will be able to test their abilities on different terrains as they explore the ins and outs of one of the town's most notable landscapes. 

Registration for adults 18 and over for the 5K is $30. Registration for children 17 and under is only $20. There were will be prizes awarded for the top male and female in each age group, along with grand prizes for the overall fastest male and female overall. 

There will also be a one-lap "Fun Run" for children and recreational runners who would like to run around the park for fun and are not looking to set a World Record time or win an award or prize! The "Fun Run" will take place before the 5K.

This event is being sponsored by the Allentown Recreation Commission. The Recreation Commission is committed to improving recreational resources and activities in our community, along with acquiring property for recreational purposes, the maintenance of parkland and equipment, and improving current public playgrounds, recreation places and the approach to said lands.

Online registration closes on Friday, September 25 at 11:00 pm ET.
