About the 5K Trail Run For Veterans Housing
The course runs through Sayreville Sports Complex, a trail setting that trades pavement for softer ground underfoot. The route suits runners who want a bit of nature without a long drive out of the area, and the cause behind it, supporting a veterans housing project, gives the morning a grounded purpose that you feel in the crowd.
Registration opens race morning, so showing up without signing up ahead of time is an option, though day-of payment is cash only. The event runs rain or shine, which is worth knowing before you check the forecast and talk yourself out of going.

The 5K Trail Run For Veterans Housing has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
