5KS & RACES

Run O’ The Mill 5K

March 14, 8 am
Clinton Community Center, 63 Halstead Street, Clinton, NJ

Founded by hometown Olympian Julie Culley, the Run O’ the Mill 5K is held annually in Clinton, New Jersey. Julie originally envisioned the St. Patrick’s Day Weekend event as a community celebration and an act of gratitude for the town that embraced her in the years leading up to the 2012 Olympic Games. The goal of the race is to provide a forum for runners, businesses, and community members alike to continue to foster the rich legacy of distance running and philanthropy in Hunterdon County by sharing in a 5K, which is the distance Julie covered in the London Olympic Stadium.
