About the 6th ANNUAL DUCK DONUT 5K/10K and NEW 2K Pup Strut
The course runs through Duke Island Park, a flat stretch that suits any pace. There is no timing or awards ceremony, so the mood at the finish is unhurried. A Duck Donuts stand is waiting there, and choosing your donut flavor is treated with roughly the same seriousness as the race itself. Dogs are welcome on the shorter fun-run distance.
Packet pickup the day before is at the Duck Donuts location on Route Twenty-Two East in Green Brook, which doubles as a preview of what is coming at the finish. Race-morning pickup opens early at the park. The race benefits Somerset Children's Center, a local organization providing therapeutic services to children with special needs.
