Polonia 5K Run

Welcome to the X Annual “Polonia 5K Run”, a truly unique sporting event that blends athleticism with community spirit. Join us in Linden, New Jersey, on Sunday, June 9th, 2024, for a quick street race alongside an Olympic Athlete.

This year, we are proud to announce that the proceeds from the event will be dedicated to the Linden NJ Public Schools Scholarship, supporting education in our community.

Get ready to run alongside VIP Guest Zbigniew Brodka, Olympian and World Champion in Speed Skating. His presence will infuse the event with the true Olympic spirit, as we also commemorate the 10th Anniversary of his first Polonia 5K Run win in 2014—the same year he clinched the gold medal in the 1500 meters at the Winter Olympics.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to come together and support our Olympians. Whether you're a walker or a seasoned runner, all age categories are welcome at the premises of Linden Grammar School No. 1 for the Polonia 5K Run 2024. And after the race, refuel with our delicious, homemade Polish food and beverages, ensuring a speedy and satisfying recovery.

In addition to the camaraderie and community support, there will be lots of Medals, Trophies, and Money Prizes for the winners. This year, we’re excited to introduce three new categories—Policeman, Fireman, and Teachers—welcoming their participation with open arms. Join us for a day of celebration, athleticism, and giving back to our community.
