About THE CALDWELL CLASSIC 5K RUN/WALK & FAMILY FUN RUN
THE CALDWELL CLASSIC - a memorial 5K RUN/WALK honoring Theresa DiMasi and Marie LanFrank
The Caldwell-West Caldwell Education Foundation (CWCEF) invites you to our Annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, May 15, 2027. This community-wide event honors the legacies of two of the CWCEF's Founding Members, Theresa DiMasi and Marie LanFrank. Their vision of helping every student in our district be successful is still very much at the heart of our mission today.
In 2026, Iron PT, The Rotary Club of the Caldwells, and The Kiwanis Club of Caldwell-West Essex teamed-up to donate $1 for every mile registered! 778 people registered for the 5K and 303 for the 1mile! Every step taken helped us make a bigger impact. A huge thank you to these amazing 2026 Dollar Per Mile Sponsors, along with our 2026 PREMIER sponsors: Millenium Fire and Leddy Home Improvements!
SPECIAL THANKS to the Caldwell and West Caldwell Police Departments, the CWC Board of Education, our school principals, teachers and maintenance department for their efforts in ensuring a safe and successful event!
The CWCEF would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you.... every one of you, every volunteer, sponsor, family and participant that has taken their time and blessed us with their generosity in order to help make each school year a success... Without you, what we do would not be possible! Visit www.CWCEF.org for more information on our programs and grants.
