It is encouraged that Bradley Beach 5K participants pre-register and check in at packet pick-up the night before the event to minimize crowding.

Facebook will likely prompt you to “add a donate button” to your post.
Do NOT opt into the “donate” button if you want your funds to be attributed to your efforts. When donations are given through Facebook, they are given to BIANJ anonymously weeks after the transaction, and we have no way of tracking where it came from. Unfortunately, once funds are given through the donate button, we have no control over them and cannot move them to your fundraising page.
It is best to include a link to your fundraising page instead.
The event is rain or shine.
Yes! Our event is dog-friendly.

Looking Back at 2025 — Thank You for Your Support!
From Paramus to Mt. Laurel to Bradley Beach, this fall our 2025 5K Run/Walk/Roll for Brain Injury Awareness brought together over 1,000 families, friends and supporters of people with brain injury. With your support, we raised more than $100,000 to fund to the services the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey provides.
