The 4th Annual Run The Hook 5K/10K is back at Sandy Hook National Park, NJ for a race to keep our oceans wild and pollution free. A portion of proceeds from the race go to local charity Clean Ocean Action so they can continue to work to improve the quality of our local bodies of water. The race is fittingly situated on a less than 1 mile wide peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Sandy Hook Bay giving runners of all abilities an opportunity to run in a truly unique and natural setting.

Run The Hook is proud to be a single-use plastic free event as part of our mission to rid the beaches and oceans of plastic litter and pollution. All runners receive a commemorative pint glass as they cross the finish line in conjunction with that message in addition to a t-shirt, closed course on Sandy Hook National Park, chip timed results, and the after party.

On Saturday, May 18, 2019, the St. Mary’s Athletic Association and The Jersey Shore Running Club presents the 16th Annual Spring Into Summer 5K. All proceeds from this event benefit the Monsignor Bulman Stadium Fund, dedicated to improving the athletic facilities of Mater Dei Prep and Saint Mary School on the campus of Saint Mary Parish. In addition to the 5K, there is a 1 Mile run/walk as well as a series of races for kids ages 4-12 followed by a BBQ. See the Schedule of Events for more details.

We are so excited to celebrate our 15th year! So much has happened that we need to share with you. We have reached our million dollars for research mark, are working with 7 Pharmaceutical companies going into phase 3 trials for IGAN, working closely with FDA and donated an additional $40,000 for research. Chances are if you are reading this, you were a part of making this happen.

The most exciting news is we have decided to partner with Nephcure Kidney International with intensions of a merger in the coming year! Lenny Erlanger, our CEO and my dear friend has worked with me on this much needed growth. As with any foundation in order to grow to the next level you need to rely on the experience of someone greater and Nephcure is a leader in the kidney space.

To celebrate all of these accolades we would love for you to come this year and celebrate our big 15! We have lots of fun and surprises planned for the entire family. So lace up those sneakers, bring your family, friends, dogs and beach chairs and lets make a difference in the lives of so many with kidney disease.
