The Spring Lake Five

Welcome to The Spring Lake Five Mile Run -  Saturday, May 23, 2009

Please check our information page for the latest news about entrant information, charity registration, etc.

Start of 2009 Race

In 1977, five hundred runners lined up for the first Spring Lake Five.  Thanks to your help, the race has grown into one of the country's biggest and best running events.

Last year, the Friends of the Spring Lake 5, Inc. race raised over $50,000 for Spring Lake Recreation, the numerous volunteer groups that support the event and various charities. Funds were also used in conjunction with the Borough of Spring Lake to finish the work on extending the Spring Lake Boardwalk to enhance the safety of runners and walkers at its north end terminus.

If you are interested in placing an ad in the commemorative calendar, which all participants receive, email springlake5@hotmail.com for information.
