Haddonfield Skirmish 5K

Saturday, June 7th

8:30am Race Starts

(Race Day Registration begins at 7:30am)

Runners, history buffs, and families will come together on June 7, 2025, for the inaugural Haddonfield Skirmish 5K and Family Fun Walk at Croft Farm. Part of the RevolutionNJ Race Series, the event begins at 8:30 a.m. and offers a unique way to engage with New Jersey’s Revolutionary War history.

While the race takes place entirely on the scenic trails of Croft Farm and Pennypacker Park, it is part of the larger Haddonfield Skirmish weekend, commemorating Haddonfield, NJ’s role in the American Revolution. The event highlights key historic sites, including the Indian King Tavern Museum, where in 1777, New Jersey’s legislature met to formalize the state’s break from British rule and enforce its new constitution.

The RevolutionNJ Race Series draws inspiration from Jonas Cattell’s legendary run to warn American troops of a British attack at Red Bank Battlefield. This race is one of six in the series, with additional events planned at Monmouth Battlefield, Princeton Battlefield, Washington-Rochambeau Route, East Jersey Old Town and Red Bank Battlefield.

Whether running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, participants will experience a race that blends fitness, history, and community celebration. The event is a dynamic new addition to the Skirmish weekend, offering an interactive way to honor the region’s past.

An awards ceremony will follow at the Hay Bale Theater at Haddon Avenue and Kings Highway East.
