Cooper Norcross Run the Bridge, presented by AmeriHealth New Jersey, returns on Sunday, Nov. 2, offering runners and walkers a rare chance to cross the Ben Franklin Bridge on foot — all for a meaningful cause.
Now in its 28th year, the event raises money for Larc Norcross School, a nonprofit in South Jersey that provides free, specialized education for children with multiple disabilities. Thousands of participants are expected to take part in the 10K run, 2-mile walk, or virtual options available for both.
New for 2025: Philadelphia Runner packet pick-up
In a first for the event, the event’s organizers have partnered with Philadelphia Runner to make race packet pick-up available at its Center City location on Walnut Street. This update makes it easier than ever for Philly-based runners and walkers to participate, without needing to travel to New Jersey to pick up their bibs. It’s a move that’s expected to boost participation from across the river, giving more local runners a chance to be part of one of the region’s most scenic races.
