This 5k Run/Walk benefiting The Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood Foundation will take place at Nomahegan Park, in Cranford New Jersey, on Saturday, May 1st. The Nomahegan Park 5K route is USATF certified, and is a scenic and flat loop, with a water station around the halfway point. Perfect for Runners and Walkers of all levels. 

The race will be chip timed, with medals for the top 3 Male and Female finishers in all age categories.

All proceeds raised from the run will directly support the SUDC Foundation's mission to promote awareness, fund research, and serve those affected by SUDC. SUDC is the fifth leading category of death in children ages one to four, yet SUDC receives no public funding. The SUDC Foundation provides all services at no cost to families.
