Become a Sponsor

 

The HoBOOken 5K Halloween Race is Hoboken's largest 5K race, with 2,000 runners and many more volunteers, fundraisers, and spectators in attendance. This race is organized by staff members and volunteers from The Hoboken Shelter and is our biggest fundraising event of the year.

 


 

Why we organize this race

We tell participants of the HoBOOken that they are running to help us end hunger and homelessness in Hoboken. Did you know? 90% of the guests that stay and eat at the Shelter are former Hoboken residents who have lost their homes. Our mission at the Shelter is to be a community partnership that transforms lives by providing meals for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, & services to support people to become housed. At the Shelter, we sleep 50 people each night, serve 500 meals daily, and host 1,000 showers weekly. 

Did you know?
  • We moved 231 guests from the Shelter into permanent homes of their own in 2022. That's 4 getting homes each week!

  • We raised $100,000 with last year’s race. This serves dinner for all of our guests for 333 days—almost the entire year!

  • The HoBOOken5K run is a volunteer-driven initiative—100% of our proceeds directly benefit the Shelter!
