For over 40 years, the Rubin Run has been the signature family-friendly race in Bergen County. Celebrating health and wellness for all ages and abilities, the Rubin Run also raises funds to support programs and services that make our JCC accessible and inclusive to the entire community, especially our Guttenberg Center for Special Services.

It’s your favorite race of the spring! This year’s Rubin Run will be held on Sunday, May 10, Mother’s Day!

The JCC will offer two CompuScore-timed races for the entire family and for competitive athletes at all levels: a 10k run and a 5k run/walk through the tree-lined streets of Tenafly, Englewood Cliffs, and Englewood, NJ. After a finish onto the summer camp field, there will be a series of kid’s fun runs that will help instill a competitive spirit and the joy of running into our younger participants.

This family-friendly, community-wide event raises important funds for the JCC’s Guttenberg Center for Special Services, helping to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Participation in the run directly supports individuals who rely on the JCC and the Guttenberg Center’s vital resources and programming—empowering them to build communication skills, strengthen self-confidence, and grow as engaged and valued members of the community.

The Rubin Run is named for the late Leonard Rubin, a past president and founder of the JCC, who established this community-wide athletic event over 40 years ago in 1981 to encourage and promote healthy living.

Chair: Samuel Jed Rubin

Committee: Alan Canarick, Dan Cohn, Andrew Kent, Dan Oelsner, Mark Rottenberg, and Howard Simon.
