5K Fun Run/Walk for Blood Clot Awareness

The 5K Fun Run/Walk for Blood Clot Awareness takes place in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey, on October 10, 2027. There is a single format, a 5K (3.1 miles) open to runners and walkers alike, starting at 10:00 a.m. This annual family-friendly event raises awareness of blood clots, their risk factors, symptoms, prevention and diagnosis, and raises funds for people who have been affected by them.

A 10:00 a.m. start is comfortable, leaving time for a light breakfast two hours beforehand and an unhurried warm-up. Over 5K, walking is a perfectly valid option and lets groups of very different ages move along together. For runners who want to turn it into a real workout, the distance lends itself well to a steady effort, as long as you don't go out at an unsustainable pace in the first few hundred yards.
