Roll Over MS New Jersey is a 3K at Duke Island Park, organized by the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation Inc. Participants can cover the distance however it works for them: walking, rolling, skating, scooting, or biking. The event is family-friendly, and children under 12 can join for free. The day is built around raising awareness and support for people living with multiple sclerosis, with team and fundraising elements alongside the route. Participants can join the Top Fundraisers Challenge, the Most Team Members Challenge, or the Athletic Wear With The Most Flair Challenge, so the event is as much about showing up together as it is about finishing the 3K.

The Bob Hendricks Memorial 5k Run/Walk begins and ends at River Road Park in Bedminster, New Jersey. The route follows paved park paths, not city streets. This fall 5K, for runners and walkers, was established as a community event honoring Bob Hendricks and supports fundraising for pancreatic cancer research. The course is USATF certified and sanctioned. It is mostly flat, following paths that link River Road Park to the Bedminster Police station. A pedestrian bridge over the highway presents the only significant elevation change. Participants include club runners, casual walkers, stroller groups, and virtual runners. Awards are given to overall finishers and to men and women in 10-year age groups. In-person participants may receive event T-shirts while supplies last. Past participation indicates a small local race with a few hundred attendees, not a large-scale event.

The first 1,000 participants will receive a long-sleeved shirt, hat, and finisher medal. Awards for the 5K include prizes for the top overall female, male, and non-binary finishers, as well as the top three runners in 10-year age categories ranging from 9 and under to over 80. A race festival precedes, accompanies, and follows the races, featuring face painting, balloon animals, and craft tables.

The event raises awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, with all proceeds directed toward medical and scientific research for improved treatments and a future cure. Michael's Cause also assists families affected by Duchenne in purchasing medical equipment and accessible vans. Over $2 million has been allocated to research and equipment.
