JERSEY CITY, NJ — Hudson County Executive Craig Guy invites residents to register for Hudson County’s 3rd Annual Strides for Safety 5K Against Gun Violence that will be held in Lincoln Park on Saturday, September 21. The Strides for Safety 5K is an opportunity for the Hudson County community to run or walk to raise awareness and end gun violence here in our home front and across the country.
“Hudson County must continue to work together with the community and community organizations If we are going to end gun violence and save our residents and families from its devastating impact. Which is why I’m inviting all residents to participate in this year’s annual Strides for Safety 5K Against Gun Violence,” said Hudson County Executive, Craig Guy. “Beyond this event, this means forging an effective coalition of parents, young people, religious leaders, committed advocates and law enforcement that are all committed to building a County where everyone can thrive – free from the fear of gun violence.”
This year, the County is debuting a new USATF-Certified 5K Course that showcases Lincoln Park in Jersey City. Following the race, runners and walkers, as well as their families, are invited to the awards ceremony with light bites and refreshments as well as musical entertainment, family activities, local safety community organizations, and health-focused vendors offering yoga classes, smoothies, and massages.
