The Croissant & Cafe 5K Run & Walk takes place at 111 Challenger Road in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey on November 1, 2026. Despite its name, the actual event offering is a 1-mile distance, making it accessible for runners seeking a shorter race format. The event starts at 10:00 AM, giving athletes an early morning option. Entry fees range from $25 to $45 depending on registration timing or options selected. This low-key format works well for those using it as a warm-up effort, a casual weekend outing, or for introducing newer runners to organized racing. The morning start time allows plenty of daylight for the run and post-race activities at the venue.
