About This Race

When you register for the HoBOOken 5K race, you are running to support the mission of The Hoboken Shelter to end hunger and homelessness one person at a time. Since we opened our doors on 300 Bloomfield Street in 1982, we've been helping our neighbors in need move from crisis to stability while treating every person with care and dignity. Your support helps us provide 50 safe sleeps every night, 500 meals every day, and 1,000 showers a week. Thank you!
