About this race
Join us for the annual Market Street Mission 5K Race for Recovery on the Boardwalk (formerly known as the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission 5K Race & Family Walk)! We are excited to see you on the Boardwalk in Ocean Grove, NJ on Saturday October 24, 2026! Proceeds from the event will support the programs of the Market Street Mission, a non-profit organization providing hope and healing to those struggling with hunger, homelessness, and addiction throughout New Jersey. We encourage you to show your support for those who are striving for recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and help provide the necessary programs and resources - like free meals, overnight shelter, and a long-term residential recovery program - for those in need in the community.
Market Street Mission is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides all our services free of charge to those in need. We are not subsidized by government funding. To learn more about Market Street Mission, visit www.marketstreet.org. EIN #22-6047486
