Our next CJRRC Race

2/21/26: 43th Annual CJRRC Hangover 5k has been Cancelled!

Dear Hangover 5K Participants,
With a major Nor’easter expected to impact our area, and after multiple attempts to host the 2026 Hangover 5K Run, we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL this year’s event. We understand your frustration, and we are equally disappointed. A tremendous amount of work went into planning and coordination, but we cannot compromise the safety of our runners and volunteers.

That said, we will still be distributing the race hoodies.

We have a couple of brave local volunteers who will be at the park for those who wish to pick up their hoodie tomorrow, Sunday, February 22nd from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Location: Tamaques Park – Basketball Court, Westfield, NJ
(Hangover 5K Finish Line Area)
If you are unable to attend tomorrow, we have scheduled additional pickup opportunities:
Sunday, March 1 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
FUN RUN: Come run the Hangover 5k course when you come to pick up your hoodie (weather permitting) or simply pick up your hoodie and enjoy some water and granola bars.
