OCNJ Emergency Responder 5K 2026

The OCNJ Emergency Responder 5K is a Saturday-morning run/walk held in Ocean City, New Jersey, starting from the Civic Center at 500 Boardwalk. The primary event is a 5K Run/Walk commencing at 8:30 a.m., with a 1 Mile Walk following at 8:35 a.m. The city of Ocean City is the organizer, and the race name connects it to emergency responders. The event takes place directly on the Boardwalk in a shore town known as “America’s Greatest Family Resort.” This positions the race within Ocean City’s beach-and-boardwalk environment, distinct from a closed stadium or park course.
