The Long Branch 5K Fun Run & Walk is a family-friendly community event that brings together runners, walkers, neighbors, families, and local businesses for a morning of fun, fitness, and community spirit. Proceeds support Long Branch Main Street, the Long Branch Business League, and the annual Long Branch Festival, one of our favorite community traditions.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best, walking with friends, pushing a stroller, or simply enjoying a beautiful morning in the neighborhood, there's a place for everyone at the Long Branch 5K.
