Historic Bell Labs will play host to the fastest 5k on the East Coast on Saturday, May 21st at 9am, and it will be the road racing event of the spring. The course is two laps around the "Bell Labs Speedway."

Along with a fast two-loop course and a fun afterparty, the Garden State 5k will also include:

• Personalized bibs
• Lead-car live-streaming
• Pace groups
• Post-race party with beer garden and raffles
• Course music
• Race giveaways
• Free race pictures
• Ten-deep Age Group medals
• Over $5,000 of prize money

And yes, we are offering more prize money to the women's champion.

While there's lots of 5k races in the tri-state area, this is THE 5k race.
