After a two-year layoff, the Ship Bottom Sprint for Life is back. Both competitive and casual runners are invited to participate in the benefit scheduled for Saturday, April 9, beginning and ending at the waterfront/boat ramp park in Ship Bottom.

Event coordinator Maria Pennisi said registration is underway for the 5K run, which begins at 12:30, immediately followed by a 2-mile fitness walk.

The fee for the 5-K run and fitness walk is $24 before April 1 ($19 for USA Track and Field-New  members) and $29 after that date up until the time of the race.

Prior to the run, a “Kidz Mini-Sprint” begins at 11:45. It is open to children ages 4 to 11.
