Last week, representatives from Red Bank RiverCenter and members of the race committee presented a donation of $10,000 to the Red Bank Family YMCA, a branch of the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County, to support the annual third-grade swim program. The Y offers a week of free swim lessons and water safety instruction to all borough third graders before the summer season begins and children head to the beach, lakes and pools.

"The Y is grateful to Red Bank RiverCenter, the 5K community of runners, walkers and volunteers, and local businesses for the tremendous support we receive to help keep borough youth safe in and around water," said Pam Hearn, chief development officer of the countywide YMCA.

Zuckerman said online registration for the Red Bank Classic 5K and Broad Street Dash for kids will open on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 23 with special pricing.  Adult registration will be available at a reduced rate of $35 and the fee for the kids run will be $17. Starting January 1, 2024, fees will increase to $40 for adults and $20 for the Broad Street Dash. On race day, prices will go up to $45 for adults and $25 for the kids run.
