Race Information
Proceeds from the Run With Lions (formerly Run With Eagles) support the Allentown (NJ) Food Pantry, which has distributed a record number of food items in 2025. Enjoy the weekend at the annual event. Start at the Cream Ridge Winery and run, walk, or push your stroller through scenic central NJ Horse country on this Kentucky Derby Day. There is a 1 mile funrun prior to the 5K. Over 150 runners and walkers come out each year for fun, fitness, and to help the Allentown Lions Club Foundation support the great need to keep families fed. Additionally, donations are made to Trenton Rescue Mission and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, and there will be a food drive for runners to donate canned goods or other nonperishable food items. Cream Ridge Winery will donate free wine tastings to all runners of legal age. Live music will also be provided.
