Centennial Village Velocity 5K

It’s time to lace up, warm up, and carb up!!!

The Cranford Centennial Village Group, which works towards improvements to the Centennial Village District, is hosting their annual Velocity 5K run on Sunday, June 2^nd. The race will begin promptly at 9:30 AM, in front of Lincoln School, at 132 Lincoln Avenue on the corner of Centennial Avenue in Cranford.  Registration opens that day at 8:30.

Pre-registration is open until May 17^th, and includes t-shirts for runners.  Early registration is $20 ($15 for kids), same-day registration is $25 ($20 for kids).  Awards will be given to both men and women, in varied age categories.  The course itself is certified and flat (always a good thing when running!), and will be officially timed by NJ Races.

And, for what might be the very BEST part, stay for a bit at the completion of the race.  Because A Toute Heure, which is located practically right across the street from Lincoln School, will be providing a post-race-taste!  That, in and of itself, is reason to go!

It’s a great way to support your community and local businesses, while getting in some exercise and quality outdoor time!  “Race for your home place,” you might say!
