Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to the Alpha Fit Club Red Bank Classic 5K in the heart of downtown Red Bank.
The fifth edition of the charity event will benefit the Red Bank Family YMCA’s Third Grade Swim Program that offers free swim lessons and water safety education to borough youth.
The 5K will begin and end on the Broadwalk, stepping off at 8:30 a.m., after a group warm up by Alpha Fit. The challenging 3.1-mile course, certified by USA Track & Field, will wind through Red Bank neighborhoods.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three female and top three male finishers and to the top female and male masters’ finishers. The top three finishers, ages 14 and under, and in five-year age groups up to 80 and older, will also be acknowledged, along with the top finishing teams.
The 5K race fee is $40 ($45 after June 1) and includes a T-shirt, medal, chip-timed results, refreshments, and access to post-event race activities. The first 1,000 runners and walkers to register and pick up their bib will receive a swag bag.
Following the 5K will be the Kids Broad Street Dash, open to children up to 12 years old. The fee is $20 ($25 after June 1) and includes a T-shirt and medal.
The event will feature:
– A pre-party on June 13, hosted by Triumph Restaurant and Brewery
– A Fitness Festival after the race in the popular Broadwalk area
– A post-party on race day, hosted by the Robinson Ale House.
