The 45th Annual Buckley's - Kennedy's 5k Charity Run

People at night event.

We hope that you’ll lace up your running shoes and join us down in Breezy Point for an another incredible event this June. Generously hosted by the owners of Buckley’s and Kennedy’s Restaurants (who also happen to be this year's Heartshare Visionary Award recipients), the 5k Charity Run will take place on Sunday, June 8th. A morning run straight to a mid-day BBQ, all a few steps from the beach. It’s a perfect June Sunday!
