Run with the Docs 5k & 1 Miler 2026

Description

UPDATE 6/11/2026: Change to T-Shirt/Bib Distribution Schedule

Our final distribution session before race day will be Friday, June 12 from 10am to 1pm, outside Lobby B at Virtua Voorhees Hospital, weather permitting. If conditions do not allow for an outdoor setup, we will move inside the B Lobby. Please note this adjustment to the pickup location, which had previously been advertised as being outside Lobby A.

We apologize to anyone who came to the hospital on 6/10 to pick up their t-shirt and bib - we have spotted an error in a previous email announcing our distribution schedule. Again, our apologies if anyone was inconvenienced.

If you are unable to pick up your items on June 12, you can do so at the registration table on Sunday morning.

We can't wait to see everyone soon!

Run with the Docs is a 5k run and 1 mile walk that will be held Sunday, June 14, 2026 at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in Voorhees, NJ.

We will organize a packet pickup (dates TBA) for t-shirts and bibs. (Race-day registrations and online registrations received after May 25 may receive their t-shirts after the race, beginning the week of June 15.) And back by popular demand, canine participants will receive a bandana.

Prizes will be awarded! Categories include first overall male, first overall female, largest team, top 3 fundraising teams , and top 3 men and women in each of 8 age groups! There is also a prize awarded to our top fundraising team! We want to thank TEAM BLAKE for being our top fundraising team in 2025!

NEW for 2026: a cash-only 50/50 and Basket Raffle will add excitement to the day! No pre-sales of tickets are permitted; winners must be present to claim prizes.
