YMCA Livestrong 5K Walk/Run

The 29th Annual YMCA Livestrong 5K Walk/Run is a community event dedicated to supporting cancer survivors, taking place at Roosevelt Park in Edison, NJ. This event features a 5K run, a fun walk, and a shorter .7-mile walk around the lake, encouraging participation from all ages. Proceeds from the event fund the LIVESTRONG program at the YMCA, which offers free exercise programs for cancer survivors.

The event honors Janice Garbolino, a former YMCA director who lost her battle with breast cancer. Participants can form teams, compete for fundraising awards, and enjoy post-race festivities, including snacks and music. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
