The Rutgers Big Chill 5k is a charitable event that has served the Rutgers University-New Brunswick, NJ community since 2003. Similarly to last year, we will offer both an in-person and virtual race. Our in-person race will occur on December 14 at 10 am with runner check-in taking place on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The Rutgers Big Chill has been a staple within the Rutgers University-New Brunswick Community for over 20 years and is enjoyed by thousands of runners yearly. We aim to continue the Big Chill tradition while giving back to the community and keeping participants active and motivated.
Participants will receive the traditional long-sleeved Big Chill t-shirt during runner check-in.
We limit the in-person event to 3,000 runners and will only accept pre-registered participants.
Runner Check-in will take place on Friday, December 8 from 3-6 p.m. and Saturday, December 9, from 8-9:45 am at the College Ave Gym, 130 College Ave, New Brunswick, NJ
Year to date we have donated over $30,000 to our local charities and over 50,00 toys to the local community.
Proceeds from the donation page for this year's race will benefit the No Hungry Knights Scholarship Fund which helps supports Rutgers students with food insecurities.
Toy donations will benefit children in the New Brunswick community through RWJBarnabas Health, Ronald McDonald House and The New Brunswick Fire Department.
