HISTORY

FOR THE PAST 33 YEARS, THE FREEHOLD AREA RUNNING CLUB HAS ORGANIZED AND HOSTED THE BORN TO RUN 5 MILE RACE IN FREEHOLD THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. IN THE PAST, THE BORN TO RUN 5 MILE RACE HAS SEEN UPWARDS OF 800 RACERS IN ADDITION TO SPECTATORS THAT CHEER FOR THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS THEY CROSS THE FINISH LINE.

THIS IS ANOTHER EXCITING YEAR FOR BORN TO RUN! WE HAVE REBRANDED AND EXPANDED RACE DAY EVENTS TO INCLUDE KIDS RACES, A VENDOR EXPO, AND RAFFLES. WE HAVE ALSO PARTNERED UP WITH GELLMAN IMAGES, DOWNTOWN FREEHOLD, RUNNER’S HIGH, COURT JESTER, AND PRINTING2GO ALL IN AN EFFORT TO LET RACERS AND SPECTATORS SHOW THEIR SPIRIT AND SUPPORT FOR OUR BELOVED HOME- TOWN.

PROCEEDS FROM THE RACE WILL GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS FREE- HOLD OPEN DOOR FOOD PANTRY. SINCE 2009, FREEHOLD AREA RUNNING CLUB HAS DONATED $46,000 TO THE FOOD PANTRY IN CONTINUING THE TRADITION OF “FIGHTING HUNGER IN YOUR HOMETOWN.”

PLEASE CONSIDER A SPONSORSHIP WITH THE BORN TO RUN 5 MILE RACE. TOGETHER WE CAN GROW THE RACE TO FURTHER SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED.
