The Pink Witches 5K starts at 9:00 AM on Broadway Avenue in Denville, New Jersey, giving you time to drive in the morning of the race or arrive the night before. Despite the race name, the actual event is a 1-mile run, not a 5K distance. Entry costs $30.00. Plan your travel accordingly if you're coming from out of state or need a hotel nearby. Denville is in Morris County in northern New Jersey, within reasonable driving distance of New York City and surrounding areas.

From the Race Organizer
PLEASE NOTE: This race is at capacity and registration is closed. For safety reasons we will not be opening it up again. If you still want to be part of the day you can always volunteer! We will not be opening up any more spots. In 2011 Kathy Olenowski, a Denville business owner and true pillar of the community, lost her courageous battle with cancer. Kathy was only 55 years old and left behind a loving family, many friends, and a community that held her in the highest regard. Shortly after, Pink Witches Night Out was founded by her daughter, Meg Olenowski. Meg and her father, John Olenowski, knew Kathy would want them to carry on her legacy of kindness and compassion. In 2012, the first Pink Witches Night Out event raised $400 for a local resident who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, this event has evolved into Denville’s most highly anticipated night of the year. In 2025, with the support of our amazing sponsors and hard work from our committee, $85,000 was donated to Francesca Esposito, our incredible beneficiary! This year we are raising funds for a mother of 3 who was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma. This will be our 2nd annual Pink Witches 5k in Downtown Denville! Last years turnout was AMAZING and we look forward to continuing to grow support within the community with this exciting event to help support this year’s beneficiary! (The first 350 people to sign up will get a race shirt, and we will do age group medals. ) Check us out on Instagram for all race updates/Information https://www.instagram.com/pinkwitches5k/ Sponsorship Opportunities-We are always needing sponsors and have many different sponsorship opportunities, please see link below for more information: https://secure.givelively.org/event/kathy-olenowski-foundation-inc/5k-sponsorship-2026

Course & Travel Notes

The Pink Witches 5K Run/Walk takes place in Denville, New Jersey on September 27, 2026, with the race starting at 9:00 AM—giving you plenty of time after sunrise at 6:50 AM to grab coffee and get settled. You'll be running at a modest elevation of 512 feet, so don't expect any dramatic altitude adjustments. For getting there, Morristown Municipal Airport is your closest option at just 7.2 miles away, making the drive to the venue quick and easy. Pack layers since late September weather in this area typically tops out around 76°F during the day but drops to 54°F at night, and there's about a 31% chance of rain, so bringing a light rain jacket wouldn't be a bad call.
