About the Lucky Run
The Lucky Run winds through the streets of downtown Pitman on a paved neighborhood course. The route is relatively flat and passes through the historic town center. A kids' mile runs first, followed by the main race, so the morning has a longer arc than a single-distance event. A live Irish band plays in Ballard Park before the gun goes off.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a running store in Mullica Hill, with race-morning pickup at Ballard Park, next to the Pitman Library. After the race, the party splits between two spots: Merryman's Pub has a pub menu, Irish music, and awards; Bonesaw Brewery has a food truck and the live band. Street parking and municipal lots are within walking distance of the start.

The Lucky Run has been held every year since at least 2017. 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.
