Hillsborough Run Around the Park 5K Registration Open

The second annual Run Around the Park 5K sponsored by the Hillsborough Parks and Recreation Department will be held on Sunday, April 19.

The non-competitive, recreational run will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Ann Van Middlesworth Park, 17 Pleasant View Road. The 5K is held on trails and through fields at the park. According to Hillsborough Mayor Doug Tomson, the run also benefits Hillsborough’s parks and the Community Assistance Network, formerly the Hillsborough Food Pantry.

The run is in partnership with the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign, an initiative to improve health and promote an active lifestyle among township residents, and BoroSAFE, an organization promoting education and resources about suicide prevention, according to Hillsborough Parks and Recreation.

All participants who are pre-registered before April 1 will receive a free t-shirt. A Finish Line Festival, featuring music and food, will be held following the run.

Registration fees are $20 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under.
