Lace Up for a Cause: Be Part of the 2025 Main Street Marathon Weekend in Clinton, NJ

Get ready, Hunterdon County! One of the most beloved events of the fall season returns this October with the 2025 Main Street Marathon of Hunterdon, a two-day celebration of community, courage, and compassion. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 18th and Sunday, October 19th, 2025, as runners, volunteers, and supporters come together in historic Clinton, NJ, for an unforgettable weekend benefitting the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center.

This annual event is more than a race—it’s a rallying cry for hope. Every stride taken, every cheer shouted, and every dollar raised supports local patients and families impacted by cancer. Proceeds from the event go directly to the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center, helping provide cutting-edge treatment, vital support services, and compassionate care to our neighbors in need.

The weekend kicks off on Saturday, October 18th, with the Main Street Expo & Packet Pick-Up from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Hunterdon Healthcare’s Flemington Campus. It’s the perfect way to dive into the spirit of the marathon. Families can enjoy local vendors, live music, seasonal brews from Sunken Silo Brew Works, and kid-friendly fun including the always-adorable Superhero Sprint!

Then on Sunday, October 19, the streets will buzz with excitement as Race Day begins at 8:00 AM. Participants can take on the scenic Half Marathon starting from the iconic Red Mill, or the shorter but still rewarding 4 Miler starting at 9:30 AM near the intersection of River and Kiceniuk Roads. The course is known for its rolling hills, rural charm, and inspiring energy that keeps participants coming back year after year. Whether you’re running for a loved one, for yourself, or simply for the joy of it, you’ll be part of something truly meaningful.

There are many ways to participate—sign up to race, volunteer at an aid station, or join the community along the route to cheer on the athletes. Your presence makes a difference, and together, we can make an impact that reaches far beyond the finish line.

This year’s event promises to be the biggest and most impactful yet. Help us raise critical funds for cancer care, celebrate the strength of our community, and honor those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
