About the Event
October 30 5K Longsleeve Update:
We’re beyond excited to share that this week has been record-breaking — registrations are already up 20% over last year! Because of the amazing turnout, our long-sleeve 5K quantities shirts are running a low. If you signed up after Monday, Oct. 27, you’ll still get a t-shirt, but it may be one from our Long Branch merch collection, we are running low on mediums and smalls across our inventory. Thank you for your understanding!
The Long Branch 5K Fun Run is a family-oriented community event. Proceeds from the event fund the efforts of Discover Long Branch and the Long Branch Business League in addition to supporting the annual Long Branch Festival, one of our major community events!
