Runners Take Your Mark: Eatontown 5K Race Set for Labor Day

The 17th annual event is organized by the Eatontown Recreation Advisory Committee and offers a walk or run for all levels of athletes.

Those of us over the age of 25 know that if Memorial Day is this weekend, then Labor Day will be here faster than we can say "Fourth of July."

Eatontown's Recreation Advisory Committee will host the 17th annual 5K Labor Day Race on Monday, Sept. 15 and it's never too early to start training for the day of fun.

Sponsors are still being accepted for the race, which kicks off at the Sheraton Hotel on Route 35 and is broken into various events that include a one-mile run for adults and one just for kids. There is also a 5K Leisure Walk and a 5K Walk and race.
