Hoboken Harriers Raise Roughly $15G For Jubilee Center
The Hoboken running club held its annual 5K by the waterfront on Sunday
The weather was perfect Sunday morning for HoHa's annual 5 miler where 471 runners sweated for a good cause.
The 12th annual run, held by running club Hoboken Harriers, raised money for the Jubilee Center. Long term HoHa member Jim Doyle said he was happy about the outcome of roughly $15,000.
Doyle joined HoHa in 1989, a year after the club was founded.

Marilyn Vricella, 41, came in second in her age group (40-49). She said she joined HoHa in 2005 after running the 5 miles.
