Ian’s Run

08/22/2026

Every step taken at Ian’s Run brings a child’s wish to life. 💙✨

When you register for Ian’s Run, you’re doing so much more than lining up for a 5K, 2-Mile Walk, or Kids Fun Run. You are directly funding life-changing wishes for children in New Jersey facing critical illnesses.

Did you know?
100% of our net proceeds go straight to Make-A-Wish New Jersey. A single wish has the power to replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and give a child and their family the strength they need to keep fighting.

We race in loving memory of Ian, but together, we run to create bright, unforgettable moments for kids who need them most.

Let's make this year our biggest contribution yet!

How you can help today:
1. Register to run or walk
2. Share this post to spread the word
3. Donate directly if you can’t make it in person
