23rd Annual Strides for Stroke 5K Run/2K Walk

Runners and walkers take your mark for the start of
RWJ Hamilton Foundation’s 23rd Annual Strides for Stroke 5K Run/2K Walk
on Thursday, July 10, 2014.

Sponsored by Sean’s Landscaping,
the race is an important source of fundraising for the award-winning
Stroke Program at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton
(RWJ Hamilton). Designated by the State of New Jersey as a Primary
Stroke Center, and nationally certified by The Joint Commission, RWJ
Hamilton’s Stroke Program has a 24/7 multidisciplinary team dedicated to
meeting the highest standards for stroke care. Last year’s race raised
$12,000 and registered more than 400 runners and walkers from across the
tri-state area, as well as California, Delaware, and Michigan.


Strides for Stroke is a USATF-certified course on a traffic-free road
and through Veteran's Park. Perfect for families, the 2K walk starts at
6:30 p.m. and is followed by the 5K run at 7:30 p.m. Music, pizza and
refreshments are provided for all registered participants. Commemorative
t-shirts are available to pre-registrants through June 30, and while
supplies last after that date. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top
three overall men and women 5K runners, and medals will be awarded to
top three men and women in each age category.

Teams are
encouraged for both the walk and the run. Teams compete for fastest
team, most finishers and most spirit. Register or sponsor friends online
