Newark Riverfront 6K Run/Walk

The Newark Riverfront 6K Run/Walk is held annually at Essex County Riverfront Park in Newark, NJ. The USATF-certified course features a relatively flat trail with two laps inside the scenic park, including two water stations. The event offers a 6K timed run, a kids' fun run on grass with distances based on age, and an untimed 2-mile walk.

Participants enjoy amenities such as personalized bibs (if registered early), free finish line photos, fruits, coffee, snacks, and commemorative finisher medals. Awards include trophies, prize money, and embroidered apparel for top finishers. The run benefits the Purpose Runners Foundation and Newark Riverfront Revival Organization.
