July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

Join fellow runners and walkers for the patriotic July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY in Camden, a celebrated Independence Day event held on Saturday, July 4, 2026. This popular gathering at Wiggins Waterfront Park consistently sells out quickly, offering a memorable way to kick off your holiday festivities. Whether you're aiming for a Half-Marathon (13.1M), a 10K, a 5K, or a leisurely 1-mile Family Fun Run, this event provides a stress-free and supportive atmosphere for all paces and ages.

Experience the scenic Wiggins Waterfront Trail, a course known for its flat and picturesque views, making it ideal for achieving your personal best or simply enjoying a refreshing stride. While specific course maps are emailed to participants closer to race day, the waterfront setting promises an enjoyable journey. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 87°F and lows around 67°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, so plan for warm weather. Coordinators will be on hand to support runners throughout the event, which starts with multiple waves beginning at 7:30 AM.

Beyond the run, participants receive a premium swag bag, including a running T-shirt shipped directly to their address, a finisher's medal, and other giveaways, eliminating the need for traditional packet pickup. Embrace the spirit of community and freedom without the pressure of timing chips, as optional timing is available for those who wish to track their performance via an app or with coordinator assistance. This unique approach fosters a truly inclusive environment, inviting everyone to run free and run proud.
