About the Weehawken 5K Walk/Run for Food Justice
The course follows a waterfront path in Weehawken, keeping things scenic and relatively straightforward underfoot. Several distance options are available, from a short kids' fun run to a full walk-or-run option, so people show up at different paces and with different goals. The race benefits a local shelter and centers food justice education, which shapes the whole feel of the morning.
Registration opens at Weehawken Field on Port Imperial Boulevard, so that is your landmark for parking and setup. After the running wraps up, there are food demonstrations, music, awards, and activities for kids, including face painting and art projects. The course does not allow strollers or pets.
