The 7th Annual Red Bank Classic returns on June 20, 2026 right in the heart of downtown Red Bank, NJ.

This vibrant community event brings together runners, families, and supporters of all ages to celebrate our lively downtown, scenic waterfront, and shared commitment to uplifting Red Bank’s youth.

​

First launched in June 2018 by a dedicated group of local business owners, the Borough of Red Bank, and passionate community members, the Red Bank Classic 5K quickly became a signature event. What began as a vision to bring a premier race back to town has grown into a beloved tradition, now welcoming more than 1,500 runners and thousands of spectators each year.

Today, the Red Bank Classic stands as one of Monmouth County’s largest and most respected races, proudly raising over $60,000 to support youth programs for Red Bank children.
