Dear Race & Walk Participants,

On behalf of the Waldwick Chamber of Commerce, thank you for joining us for the 18th Annual 5K Run & 1-Mile Walk. We are truly grateful for the incredible energy, enthusiasm, and support you brought to this year’s event.

This year’s patriotic theme – celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday on May 3rd – added a unique layer of excitement. We hope you enjoyed meeting our “General George and Martha Washington,” our young patriot, and our Town Crier! The feedback we’ve received from participants, sponsors, and volunteers alike has been wonderful.

It was a beautiful, crisp morning, and seeing over 700 runners and walkers cross the finish line was a highlight for all of us. Between the commemorative  250th-anniversary tees, custom bibs, medals, and our signature “swag bag” backpacks, we aimed to make this milestone year truly special.

Most importantly, we are proud to announce that together, we raised $3,300 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Your generosity is providing vital support in the fight against pediatric cancer and making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families.

We also invite you to keep the spirit of the Waldwick 5KRun  alive throughout the year! Whenever you travel, pack your race t-shirt, snap a photo at a landmark, and share it with us as part of our “W5K Run Around the Globe” initiative.

Thank you again for making this such a memorable day. It is your participation, our volunteers’ dedication, and our sponsors’ kindness that make this event the heart of our community.

Please mark your calendars for our 19th Annual Race on May 2, 2027.   We can’t wait to see you there!

With sincere appreciation,

Stan Kowalski
