The Lucky Run

The Lucky Run is South Jersey’s 14th Annual Largest Irish-themed 5K and 1-Miler in Downtown Pitman, centered at Ballard Park. The event features a chip-timed 5K race, a chip-timed 1-mile Kids Run, and a 1-mile Walk (not timed), all on a paved, scenic course through historic Pitman. For 2026, new finisher medals and race shirts are included, with shirts available in multiple sizes while supplies last.

The day blends sport and celebration with best-dressed contest, Irish tunes, a DJ, and a live band at partner venues Merryman’s Pub and Bonesaw Brewery, plus raffles, food, and drink. Charity partner HEADstrong Foundation; limited to 500 participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
