Join us for the NJT Namma 5K Run & 1 Mile Fun Walk!

On Saturday, May 17th, 2026, we're bringing people together at the beautiful Oak Ridge Park in Union County for a day of fitness, fun, and family—while supporting important causes both locally and globally. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just getting started, there's a place for you at the NJT Namma 5K!

Running for a Cause: A portion of all race proceeds will support youth mental health initiatives through our partnership with NAMI New Jersey (National Alliance on Mental Illness). We are also sponsoring a portion for child education in India through our Sponsor a Child program. With nearly 1 in 5 children in New Jersey facing mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges, and millions of children globally lacking access to education, your participation makes a real difference in young lives both here and abroad.

Event Highlights:

5K Run: Challenge yourself on a scenic course through Oak Ridge Park
