ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

The Vineland Downtown Improvement District/Main Street Vineland promotes, enhances and revitalizes historic Landis Avenue as a thriving commercial district and community-gathering place for shoppers, residents and visitors. In 2021, Main Street Vineland was awarded the Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) grant, which provides 5 years of funding towards creating visible, tangible, asset-based, and community-driven change within the NPP District. In the fourth year of this run in the heart of our District, we begin a journey that will transform the very streets and building you will run by and encourage you to return each year to watch this transformation happen.

Second Capital Running was formed in Vineland 2018 to make the vision of the Running The Ave 5K into reality, and now manages over 25 races in all corners of South Jersey with the mission of cultivating strong community action and leadership through the sport of running. We are honored to work alongside Main Street Vineland for the fifth year of our hometown race..
