About the River Rock 'N Run 5K 2026
The course runs along the river in Brick, looping back so you pass the midpoint twice before finishing. It is a flat route with water on one side, and the out-and-back shape means you can gauge how you are doing against other runners coming the other direction. A solo option and a relay option are both available, so pairs can split the distance and hand off a baton.
Bib pickup opens inside River Rock Restaurant before the start, so there is no scrambling outside. After finishing, everyone heads back inside the same restaurant for a post-race spread with prizes and raffles. The race benefits a regional food bank, and the gathering afterward has the feel of that being the actual point.

The River Rock 'N Run 5K 2026 has been held every year since at least 2024. 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.
