Since St. Barnabas was founded in 1900, we have aimed to provide charitable contributions to members of our community that may not have the ability to pay. We continue to do this with our annual charitable events, like the St. Barnabas FreeCare5K presented by CIBC. For over 30 years, runners and philanthropists alike have gathered at our 5K to raise money for the St. Barnabas Free Care Fund, which provides more than $6 million in free care to patients in need every year.

We invite people of all ages and skill levels to join us to benefit a great cause, including competitive and amateur runners, joggers, walkers, teams, and stroller and wheelchair users.

Awards and Prizes:

Our 5K fundraiser doesn’t end right after the race! Come to the St. Barnabas Medical Center lawn immediately following the race for our awards ceremony and post-race party. We will have free food and beverages, music, and more. We will also be giving away free shirts and runner bags and dozens of prizes in our post-race drawing.

Awards will be presented to the overall first-, second-, and third-place winners, as well as prizes for top runners in each category. These awards include:

- $250 cash prize for first-place male and female finishers
- $150 cash prize for second-place male and female finishers
- $100 cash prize for third-place male and female finishers
- First-, second-, and third-place prizes for the top overall runners in each age range, wheelchair racers, and teams
- Prizes for the fastest Master runner (40-49 years of age) and Grand Master runner (50+ years of age)
