Come Run With Us!
The Ridgewood Run ® celebrated it’s 48th running in 2025!
Join us in 2026 for this Memorial Day tradition.
We will be hosting 49th running of The Ridgewood Run on May 25, 2026.
The Ridgewood Run®, a spirited day of multiple outdoor running events promoting health, wellness, family and community, is the perfect way to kick off summer. It is produced by the North Jersey Masters Running Club, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and since 1976, has taken place annually every Memorial Day, in the Village of Ridgewood. In addition to drawing local and county residents, the race attracts thousands of participants, volunteers and spectators from across New Jersey, the tri-state area and beyond.
Four distinct events provided the center of activity in a festive, open-park atmosphere, including a 10K, 5K, a 1 Mile Run and The Ridgewood Run Fun Run.
All courses are USATF certified.
The success of The Ridgewood Run® enables North Jersey Masters Running Club to donate generously to deserving organizations that align with our mission, including the Special Olympics of New Jersey, College Club, Girls on the Run, Health Barn Foundation, Ridgewood Education Foundation, Ridgewood Parks and Recreation, Ridgewood YMCA, Social Service Association, Sommerville Road Runners, Transy Track Club, and West Bergen Mental Health Care.
The Ridgewood Run® proudly supports inclusivity and opportunity for individuals to safely participate.
Exciting things are being planned for our upcoming event!
We are looking forward to running with you!
