Hearts and Soles 5K

The Peter Boyden Memorial Run and Fundraiser

The Hearts and Soles 5K took place on Sunday, April 6, 2008 at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater, NJ. The number of participants and the generosity of donors was incredible!

Race results are now on our Results page. Congratulations to everyone who ran or walked.

First-time racers, beginning runners, and walkers are welcomed and encouraged to participate!

This event honors the memory of Peter Boyden and continues his efforts to promote running, fitness, and exercise. He had a favorite saying from Confucius:

It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.

That is the spirit of this event – to get out there and move, without worrying about how fast you get to the finish line.

To further encourage you, we are keeping the entry fee ridiculously low at just $5. (Most 5K races now charge at least $15-20.) Of course, additional donations would be greatly appreciated.

We are raising money to be distributed to the American Heart Association and other organizations researching cardiac health issues and groups promoting physical fitness and healthy lifestyles. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so contributions (although not the $5 entry fee) may be tax deducible. Please consult with your tax advisor.
