Get ready for the annual Run for Liberty 5K benefiting The Friends of Liberty State Park.
The Run for Liberty is a 5K in support of The Friends of Liberty State Park (FOLSP), which is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c) (3) grassroots stewardship organization founded in 1988. FOLSP is dedicated to supporting Liberty State Park; an inspiring recreational open space, natural and historic public resource behind Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. So please join us on November 4th! Runners, walkers, and spectators welcome!
While this run/walk is not officially timed there will be a clock at the finish, recovery zone with snacks & water, professional photos, and all runners will get an official race shirt.
What we support:
All proceeds from this race will go towards our mission of protecting and improving Liberty State Park!
The essence of LSP history is that caring people have put democracy into action to advocate for a free and green urban park for people to enjoy open space, recreation and nature behind Lady Liberty. We're also supporting the LSP Caven Point Protection Act for LSP's priceless "Migratory Bird Habitat and Nesting Area", a science education resource and peaceful urban oasis.
In May, 2023 the NJDEP Commissioner and Governor confirmed their support for great plans for diverse nature habitats and miles of paths in the "interior", and a planning process for free active recreation and other improvements.
In so doing, they rejected the destructive sports and entertainment commercial venues plan that was pushed by Liberty National Golf Course's billionaire owner Paul Fireman and his surrogates.
