Annual Patriots' Race Returns This Summer To Mendham

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township has announced that registration is now open for the 14th annual Patriots' Race.

The race is planned for Saturday, June 10, beginning at Brookside Field, which is located at 1 East Main Street.

The 5K begins at 9 a.m., and the Kids' Fun Run starts at 9:45. This year, the Fun Run includes three inflatables as a part of the race course, including a timed bounce house obstacle course, the township said.

There is a $35 registration fee for the race, which includes a t-shirt.

"We expect more than 300 runners, plus friends and family from Mendham and the surrounding communities," officials said.

The Mendham Patriot 5K Race raises funds for college scholarships, recreation programs and local charities.

The Patriots' Race is the Recreation Department's largest event of the year, determining funding for recreational programs and events. With the township budget providing only a small amount of funding for programs, events and Brookside Beach, this is the community's opportunity to support Mendham Township Recreation, officials said.

Following the race, there will be an awards ceremony, and the community will be able to enjoy music, games and food, perfect for the whole family.

Advanced registration is required for the run, with no walk-up registration accepted. Click here to register.
