IMPORTANT UPDATE: Cresskill 5K Postponed Due to Weather
Dear Cresskill Community,
The Cresskill 5K and Diaper Dash, originally scheduled for Sunday, September 27, 2026, has been officially postponed due to severe weather forecasts, and with advisement from local authorities. The safety of our runners, volunteers, and community members is our absolute highest priority. Because conditions are expected to be unsafe for an outdoor road race, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule.
What you need to know:
New Date: Sunday, October 11, 2026
Registrations: All current registrations, bib numbers, and t-shirt allocations will automatically transfer to the new date.
If you are able to join us on October 11, please reply with that option, and we can’t wait to see you there!
If you are registered to run for September 27, BUT CANNOT make the new date, please consider donating the registration fee. This fee covers the cost of the race so we can support other community wellness initiatives.
We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of the Cresskill Health and Wellness Foundation and the Badges & Books Relief Project. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unexpected weather.
Stay safe and dry,
The Cresskill 5K Organizing Committee

USATF CERTIFIED COURSE!
100% of the proceeds from this race are donated to the Cresskill Health and Wellness Foundation, the Cresskill Board of Health, in partnership with the Badges and Books Relief Project. These funds will be used to develop programs to ultimately improve the health and wellness of the residents of Cresskill. Funds will also be used to benefit the Cresskill Public Schools and local Non-Profit Health and Wellness organizations. The Board of Health is partnering with Badges and Books Relief Project, a local group of first responders, teachers & DPW members supporting local families dealing with extraordinary obstacles.
The mission of Badges & Books Relief Project, (BBRF) is exclusively for charitable purposes and specifically to provide assistance to families within Bergen County, New Jersey who have suffered a crisis and are in need. The organization will focus on aiding families affected by medical issues, economic issues, domestic violence issues, catastrophe such as fire or home damage, or any other related issues. BBRF will provide holiday gifts to children in need, funds for essential items after an incident which would deprive a family of housing, and other types of assistance when a family is in need. Families are identified and vetted before assistance is provided to ensure funds will be used appropriately. https://www.badgesandbooks.org/
