2026 HoBOOken 5K Sponsorship

The HoBOOken5K Halloween Race is Hoboken's largest 5K hosting more than 2,100 runners from all over the world in 2025. 

The race is organized by staff members and volunteers from The Hoboken Shelter. Originally founded in 2010 by the Elysianettes Running Society, the race has become the Shelter's biggest fundraising event of the year. Proceeds from this race allows the Shelter to continue to:

    •    Sleep 50 people each night
    •    Serve 500 meals daily
    •    Host 1,000 showers weekly

The Hoboken Shelter’s mission is to be a community partnership that transforms lives by providing meals for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and services to support people to become housed.

In 2025, the Shelter helped find permanent housing for 198 formerly homeless Guests — moving people from the streets, to the Shelter, and then into their own home.
