Join us on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for the Realtors Run for Shelter 5K charity run at Cooper River Run Park!
This event is for everyone—whether you’re a runner, walker, or just coming to cheer, your presence makes a difference. Friends, colleagues, families, children, and even furry loved ones are invited to enjoy the event and be a part of this incredible community effort to provide affordable housing options to our neighbors in need. Kids 12 and under can participate in the race for FREE!
After the race, there will be a fantastic networking opportunity with drinks at LaScala's. Each attendee will receive one free drink ticket to enjoy as a token of our appreciation. All proceeds from the event will benefit Habitat for Humanity of South Central New Jersey, supporting affordable homeownership and home repair projects that are critically needed in our community.
Get ready to lace up and make strides for affordable housing, knowing that every step helps build brighter futures for local families in need!
