Run for Gold. Chase the Luck

Lace up your running shoes and embrace the luck of the Irish at the inaugural Run for Gold. Chase the Luck, also known as the Leprechaun Leap 5K, on Saturday, March 7, 2026! This exciting event unfolds on a brand-new 5K course at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology (GCIT) Campus in Sewell, NJ. Runners and walkers alike can choose between a spirited 5K run or a fun 1-mile walk, making it perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Typical race day conditions in early March often bring highs around 50°F and lows near 32°F, with a minimal chance of precipitation, offering crisp and invigorating weather for your stride.

This "fun-first" race encourages participants to don their most festive green costumes and lucky charms, promising a high-energy atmosphere filled with music, prizes, and a strong sense of community. Beyond the chase for gold, every step you take supports a fantastic cause, directly benefiting the bright students of GCIT and the dedicated members of the DECA CTSO Club. While this is an inaugural event, guaranteeing a fresh experience for all, the focus on community and a supportive environment ensures a memorable race day. Join fellow runners and walkers at the GCIT Campus for a celebratory event that combines fitness with a meaningful contribution to local education.
