Runners of all levels have a reason to mark their calendars this spring. The 5th Annual Jersey City Spring Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K is set to take over the streets of Jersey City on Sunday, May 17, 2026 — and registration is open now.

Whether you’re chasing a personal record or simply looking for a fun way to kick off the warmer months, this race has a distance for everyone. The half marathon gets underway at 8:30 AM, followed by the 10K at 8:40 AM and the 5K at 8:45 AM. All three courses are USATF certified, meaning serious runners can count this toward qualifying goals.

Beyond the race itself, this event carries real meaning for the community. All proceeds benefit JCFamilies, a nonprofit dedicated to educating, empowering, and advocating for Jersey City families. So every mile you run supports a cause that hits close to home.

Participants can expect a well-organized experience from start to finish — live timing with splits posted in real time, water and gel stations every 1.5 miles, baggage check, a finisher medal, a technical race shirt, and even free personalized race photos and videos available after the event.

Bib pick-up takes place on race day, 45 minutes before your start time, so there’s no need to plan a separate trip.
