Starting and finishing on the Virtua Voorhees Hospital campus, this race offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to come together for a great cause.

What truly sets the Run with the Docs apart is its profound mission and vibrant community atmosphere.

This makes for a deeply meaningful and uplifting race day, fostering a strong sense of community and shared purpose. Furry friends are also welcome, with canine participants even receiving a special bandana.

Runners will appreciate the friendly competition with awards for the first overall male and female, the largest team, top fundraising team, and the top three men and women across eight age groups. New for 2026, participants can also look forward to added excitement with a cash 50/50 raffle and a basket raffle. Join fellow runners, walkers, and their canine companions for a memorable day that combines fitness, fun, and a chance to contribute to an incredibly important cause.
