JERSEY SHORE — The Jersey Shore Branch YMCA invites runners, walkers and community members to participate in the 55th Annual Tiadaghton 5K/10K Race and 10th Annual Tiadaghton Ruck March on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

The event will take place at the Jersey Shore Recreation Park, 576 Thompson St. Registration and check-in begin at 7 a.m., with the Ruck March starting at 7:50 a.m., the 10K Run and all walkers beginning at 8 a.m. and the 5K Run starting at 8:10 a.m. Awards will be announced at 10 a.m.

For more than five decades, the Tiadaghton Race has brought together participants from across the region while supporting the Jersey Shore Branch YMCA’s Annual Campaign. Funds raised help provide financial assistance for memberships and programs, ensuring that youth, families, seniors and veterans throughout the community have access to YMCA programs and services regardless of their ability to pay.

This year’s event also celebrates the 10th Annual Tiadaghton Ruck March. The march is held in support of veterans and serves to raise awareness for PTSD and suicide prevention. Participation in the Ruck March is free and open to individuals of all experience levels.

Registration for the 5K and 10K is $30 per person through June 7 and increases to $40 after June 7. Participants who register on or before June 7 will receive a complimentary race t-shirt. The Ruck March remains free to participate in, though registration is encouraged.

Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female finishers in both the 5K and 10K races. Medals will also be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each age group. Walkers and Ruck March participants are not eligible for awards.

Whether running for a personal best, walking for fitness, or marching in support of veterans, participants can take part in a longstanding community tradition while making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
