Lamp for Haiti

04/23/2026

There is still time to register for the Lamp for Haiti 5th Annual 5K Run/Walk. The event will take place on Sunday, May 3 at Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ. The USATF-sanctioned course features a relatively flat out-and-back route, beginning and concluding at the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center. The race starts promptly at 8:00 AM, followed by the award ceremony at 9:15 AM.

Awards will be presented to the top male and female overall finishers, as well as to the top three male and female participants in each age category, starting with ages 18-24 and continuing in five-year increments. Students aged 17 and under who complete the course will receive a medal. All participants are provided with a t-shirt and runner bag.

Participants are encouraged to turn their run or walk into a fundraiser in recognition of Lamp for Haiti’s 20th anniversary of delivering quality healthcare to residents of Cité Soleil, Haiti, and surrounding areas. Registered runners and walkers are invited to raise $200, with all proceeds supporting Lamp for Haiti's mission to provide critical, life-saving care to thousands annually. The top three fundraisers will receive a gift; however, the primary reward is the positive impact made in the lives of others.

We welcome everyone, whether participating or not, to attend this community event featuring music, refreshments, and enjoyable activities, all supporting an important cause.
