WESTWOOD, N.J.—The 8th Annual Westwood Dad’s Dash is set for Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16 at 8:45 a.m. in Westvale Park.
This 5K race and family mile walk are held to support the Sgt. Christopher Hrbek Scholarship Fund.
On Jan. 14, 2010, our community lost a hero. Christopher Hrbek was a 2002 graduate of Westwood Regional High School whose desire to serve his community helped him to achieve his goal of becoming a United States Marine.
The Sgt. Christopher Hrbek Scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating student at Westwood Regional High School who demonstrates a commitment to pursuing a career involving service to others. The fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
The race turns out more 400 runners and walkers each year and features a tribute to the armed forces, the 5K run and family mile, a Father’s Day barbeque, and an awards ceremony.
Race amenities include commemorative T-shirts, DJ, refreshments, and computer-scored race results. Awards include top father and son/daughter teams and top Westwood finishers.
Organizers are pleased to have the support of returning Gold Sponsors Hackensack University Medical Center at Pascack Valley and Lakeland Bank. Additional sponsors include Equinox Fitness, Intrinsic Chiropractic, Professional Physical Therapy, and Runners’ House.
