Red Bank Classic Returns in 2026
Bringing Community Together
The Red Bank Classic 5K returns to downtown Red Bank June 20th 2026 with a new course certified by USA Track and Field that will be welcome news for runners and walkers alike.
The Red Bank Classic 5K is hosted by Red Bank River Center with support from scores of volunteers and local businesses. A portion of event proceeds will benefit the Red Bank Family YMCA’s third-grade swim program, which ensures that borough students at Red Bank Primary and Red Bank Charter schools receive free water safety lessons ahead of summer vacation.
Since its start in 2018, the Red Bank Classic has raised $60,000 to support water safety and youth development programs to help Red Bank children and teens realize their full potential.

About our beneficiaries
Every day, the Y works side by side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. We know that values learned early are vital building blocks for life, so Red Bank Family YMCA is committed to making Youth Development programs like before and after care, summer camp, sports and arts enrichment, tutoring, college-readiness and tours, and therapeutic counseling available to all. We are grateful for the generosity of community partners who share in our cause to strengthen lives, and whose support helps our area youth reach their fullest potential.
