Lace up for a meaningful journey at the annual Run with the Docs 5K & 1 Miler, set to take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in Voorhees, NJ. This uplifting event, starting and finishing at Virtua Voorhees Hospital, invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate in either a spirited 5K run or a relaxed 1-mile walk. The course, winding through the hospital complex, is generally flat and accessible, making it an ideal race for personal bests or a pleasant family outing. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature comfortable highs around 82°F and lows around 62°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation, promising a pleasant atmosphere for your run or walk.

What truly sets Run with the Docs apart is its profound purpose: all proceeds directly benefit Virtua's Perinatal Bereavement and Palliative Care Program. This vital program offers compassionate care and support to families navigating the challenging journey of pregnancy or infant loss, making every stride a step towards helping those in need. Runners are celebrated with awards for overall male and female winners, largest team, top fundraising team, and top three finishers across eight age groups.

Adding to the community spirit, canine companions are warmly welcomed to join the 1-mile walk and even receive their own bandana. Packet pickup details will be announced, and while the event is held rain or shine, safety is paramount, with provisions for rescheduling or cancellation in the event of dangerous conditions. Join a community dedicated to fitness and philanthropy, and experience a race that truly makes a difference.
