Sergeant Nutter Run

Join fellow runners on Saturday, June 20, 2026, for the 22nd Annual Sergeant Nutter Run, a meaningful 5K event held at the picturesque Army National Guard Training Center in Sea Girt, NJ. This race offers a unique opportunity to experience a course within a military installation, with participants needing a government-issued photo ID for entry to the 100 Camp Drive location. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 84°F and lows around 60°F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, creating a generally warm and inviting atmosphere for runners.

The Sergeant Nutter Run stands out for its profound purpose, honoring the legacy of the late SGT Samuel Nutter, an exemplary officer candidate and decorated veteran who served as a demolition expert and diver in the Navy. The event is organized by the SGT Sam Nutter Organization Inc (SSNO), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with 100% of the proceeds dedicated to supporting families of New Jersey National Guard service members in need. Runners can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with camaraderie, fostering a strong sense of community spirit while contributing to a noble cause.

Whether you prefer to hit the pavement in Sea Girt or join from afar with the virtual 5K option, the Sergeant Nutter Run promises a rewarding experience. Awards will be presented to the top finishers across various age brackets, adding a competitive edge for those striving for a podium finish. This event is more than just a race; it's a powerful tribute and a direct way to make a difference in the lives of military families.
