17th Annual SGT Nutter 5K - 2021 2024

Short review

JUNE 18TH UPDATE: ENTRY NOW CLOSED - NO RACE DAY ENTRY - THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

The Live Event has been increased to 330 people - with three start times - 9 am  - 9:30 am  - 10 am  - there is a limit of just 110 persons per start - Runners can select their start time during the registration process. 

Given the circumstances, runners can show up earlier than their start time without penalty. After the initial 9am start time, as participants show up they will be told to begin the race after receiving their race packets. In an effort to reduce large gatherings, we ask that participants respect their start times to the best of their ability.

This event is organized by the SGT Sam Nutter Organization Inc (SSNO) in memory of the late SGT Samuel Nutter, to benefit the family of a NJ National Guard service member. We are asking for your help in aiding our Soldiers and their families in their time of need. We are pleased to announce that this year we will be honoring the late Captain (CPT) Douglas Hickok, the first Coronavirus related death in the US Armed Forces.

The 5K race will take place at the Army National Guard Training Center in Sea Girt, New Jersey. Given the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be offering virtual participation.
