The Read Write and Run 5K and Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 11, to benefit The Ethical Community Charter School and their many programs. The 5K Run, meant for young and old, is run on a fast at waterfront course at Liberty State Park with the Statue of Liberty in view at every turn. The first 200 registered runners will receive a T-shirt and goody bag. All kids race participants receive an award. Awards to top three male and female finishers.

The Ethical Community Charter School is a safe and caring community where ethics, service and social justice are the principles that inform every aspect of school life; where teachers lead and collaborate with students in a culture of rigorous academics and mutual respect; where analytical thinking and creativity are prized over rote learning; and where children become individuals of integrity, insight, autonomy and socially productive citizens, workers and leaders.
