Duke Island Park

Please consider joining us on Sunday, October 11th, 2026 at Duke Island Park for our Fourth Annual Andi’s Team Walk and Run to support Bridgewater resident Andi. This race is organized through the A-T Children's Project and their mission to find a cure for Andi and all other children with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a genetic disease that causes loss of muscle control and balance, cancer, lung disease and immune system problems in children and young adults. All proceeds from this event will benefit the A-T Children's Project.

For our avid-runners, Duke Island Park is a USATF-NJ certified course. We also welcome families with strollers and leashed pets to start towards the back. After the 5K, be sure to stop by for vendor tents, fun kids activities (including a 1K), an ice cream truck, and more. We look forward to seeing you there! The race begins at 9am. Visit our website to catch our early-bird pricing, ending August 14th.
