Join the community for a meaningful and enjoyable experience at the Nick Mowers Memorial 5K on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in scenic Pennsville, NJ. This popular 5K run/walk welcomes participants of all levels to tackle an out-and-back course through the picturesque Riverview Beach Park. Starting and finishing at the West Pittsfield Entrance, the race features a mixed-surface terrain, offering a varied and engaging route for runners and walkers alike.

Beyond the beautiful scenery, the Nick Mowers Memorial 5K stands out for its heartfelt mission. Proceeds from the event benefit the Nick Mowers Memorial Scholarship, supporting a Pennsville Memorial High School student pursuing higher education in art, as well as the Nick Mowers Dog Park. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 68F and lows around 47F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather.

The race culminates in what's celebrated as the "best Post Race Party in South Jersey!". Participants receive a complimentary T-shirt (while supplies last) and can look forward to an awards ceremony, music, delicious food, and a lively basket auction at The Shipyard, the event's base. Each registered runner also enjoys one complimentary beer or soda and a food item, with beer available for those 21 and over. It’s an ideal blend of fitness, community spirit, and post-race celebration.
