About Code 5k: Answering the Call
Help us kick off National EMS Week by running or walking in the Mountainside Rescue Squad's second annual 5k fundraiser!
We have three registrations:
- 5k Run which will be timed and you will receive a shirt if you register before May 1st
- 5k Walk which will not be timed but you still receive a bib and shirt if you register before May 1st
- Kids fun run that starts at 8:30am - shirts are not available
Our course this year is a USATF-certified 5K. The official course map and certification are provided below.
Because the start and finish locations are different, the race will use a gun start. Runners seeking the most accurate time are encouraged to line up toward the front at the start. Timing will be recorded via RFID chips in each bib, which will be read at the finish line only.
Parking is limited!! Please arrive early and consider parking in the Mountainside Community Pool or the Mountainside Library and use the footbridge to cross Route 22.
After the 5k is finished we will be holding our annual EMS Week Open House - stick around and meet our volunteers, take tours of our rigs, and much more!!
The Mountainside Rescue Squad is a 501(c)3 charitable organization staffed by 100% volunteer EMTs dedicated to providing high-quality emergency medical services to the Borough of Mountainside and surrounding communities.
