About the Event

Since its founding in 1969, Causeway Cars and Causeway CARes have been dedicated to addressing pressing community issues such as homelessness, food insecurity, education support for youth, senior care services, and veteran assistance programs within Ocean County. The annual Causeway 5k race, which began in 2018, has played a pivotal role in raising more than $500,000 to uplift the lives of local residents.
This year's event promises to be another impactful gathering where participants will not only enjoy running through scenic Ocean County but also contribute significantly to community causes. All proceeds from this race are donated directly to non-profit organizations operating within Ocean County that focus on improving quality of life for its citizens.
Running enthusiasts can look forward to a well-organized 5k course, complete with hydration stations and medical support along the route. The atmosphere is lively, filled with enthusiastic supporters cheering runners on every step of the way. Whether you're an avid runner or someone looking to make a difference in your community, this event offers a unique blend of physical challenge and social impact.

About Manahawkin

Learn more about the host city, Manahawkin.

Manahawkin is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Stafford Township, in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the CDP's population was 2,413, its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 110 (+4.8%) from the 2,303 recorded at the 2010 census, which in turn had reflected an increase of 299 (+14.9%) from the 2,004 counted at the 2000 census. Manahawkin has been thought to be a Lenape word meaning "land of good corn", although this has been disputed by recent scholars claiming that it translates to "fertile land sloping into the water."
