14th Annual Happy Jack 5K

The Happy Jack 5K is held in honor of John Thomas “Happy Jack” Doyle and takes place each year on or around what would have been his birthday. All proceeds benefit The Happy Jack Fund, which supports families who have experienced the loss of a child by awarding merit-based academic scholarships to siblings pursuing higher education.

The race is held in West Nyack, NY, and features an officially timed, out-and-back course beginning and ending at Germonds Park. Traffic control is provided by the Clarkstown Police Department to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
