15th ANNUAL RIKER DANZIG 10K RACE IN NEWPORT, NJ

Registration is now open for the 15th Annual Riker Danzig 10K Race happening on May 5 in Newport. The beautiful, flat course takes runners through the bustling downtown Newport neighborhood, along the scenic Hudson River Waterfront Walkway with its spectacular views of the New York City skyline, and finally wraps up in the Newport Town Square. The event will feature raffles and giveaways from Newport hotspots, as well as refreshments from neighborhood vendors including NJ Beer Company, which will be serving post-race brews at Komegashi Too. Last year, close to 2,000 runners participated in the run, and this year’s race aims to raise over $5,000 for the area’s only not-for-profit hospital and regional trauma center, RWJ Barnabas Health Jersey City Medical Center. Nearly $16,000 will be given out in prize money to top runners in a range of categories. Register either for the Newport Double (which includes the 10K plus the Half-Marathon race in September) for $77, or for the 10K race alone, which costs $30 if you register by April 5 (and $33 after that until race day).
