Free Kids Fun Run gives children ages 5-12 a chance to join the fight against gun violence

 Hudson County Executive Craig Guy today announced the first-ever Kids Fun Run as part of Hudson County’s 5^th Annual Strides for Safety 5K Against Gun Violence, giving children ages 5 to 12 a free opportunity to run, have fun and stand together with their community against gun violence.

The Kids Fun Run will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 19, at Lincoln Park in Jersey City. The addition gives families an opportunity to participate together while teaching children the importance of community, safety and looking out for one another.

“The Hudson County Strides for Safety 5K is about coming together as a community to build safer neighborhoods for everyone, and that includes our youngest residents,” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “We’re excited to welcome children ages 5 to 12 to our first-ever Kids Fun Run and give them a chance to be part of this important day. When our children see their parents, neighbors, first responders and community leaders standing together for safer communities, they learn that they have a role to play too. We want every generation to know that building a safer Hudson County is something we do together.”

Now in its fifth year, Strides for Safety brings residents, families, elected officials, law enforcement and community organizations together to raise awareness about gun violence and promote safer communities throughout Hudson County.

The day will continue after the race with a community after-party featuring live music, food and activities for children, giving families and participants an opportunity to celebrate together and keep the spirit of community going beyond the finish line.

Residents are encouraged to register now for the 5K, and families are invited to sign their children up for the free Kids Fun Run.

September 6 event in Paterson honors five-time Negro Leagues All-Star, Dominican baseball pioneer and scout whose career intersected with Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Martín Dihigo

PATERSON, N.J. — September 1, 2026 — Baseball history, Dominican heritage and community will come together Sunday, September 6, at historic Hinchliffe Stadium for the inaugural Rabbit Martínez Softball Heritage Cup, honoring Negro Leagues All-Star and Dominican baseball pioneer Horacio “Rabbit” Martínez.

Taking place just days before the September 15 start of Hispanic Heritage Month, the event has special significance in Paterson, home to New Jersey’s largest concentration of Dominican residents and one of the nation’s few surviving ballparks associated with Negro Leagues baseball.

The celebration begins at 2 p.m. with the Jersey Jackals’ regular-season finale, followed by a 3 p.m. VIP reception and tour of the Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium, featuring Rabbit Martínez memorabilia. At 4:30 p.m., the Heritage Cup will feature the Fort Lee Falcons of Fort Lee against hometown Las Estrellas de Las Hortensias of Paterson, a team composed predominantly of Dominican players.

The Falcons are part of the Fort Lee Adult Co-Ed Softball League, founded and operated by Max Martínez-Almenas, producer of Martinez Béisbol Films and grandson of Rabbit’s brother Antonio “Toñito” Martínez.

“This event connects history with the baseball communities that are still playing the game today,” Martínez-Almenas said. “Rabbit’s legacy is part of Negro Leagues and Dominican baseball history, but it also lives in the communities that continue to love and play the game.”

WHY RABBIT MARTÍNEZ MATTERS

– Negro Leagues Star: A five-time East-West All-Star with the New York Cubans and member of their 1947 Negro League World Series championship team.

– Connected to Baseball’s Greatest Names: Martínez is the only known Dominican professional player to have competed against both Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson and shared the field with stars including Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard, Monte Irvin and Paterson-raised Hall of Famer Larry Doby.

– Martín Dihigo Connection: Rabbit played alongside Cuban Hall of Famer Martín “El Maestro” Dihigo, regarded as one of baseball’s greatest all-around players, with the New York Cubans and in Cuba, where Dihigo also served as his player-manager.

– Player Advocate: In 1950, Martínez helped found FENAPEPRO, an organization representing Dominican professional players that played an important role in the return of professional baseball to the Dominican Republic in 1951 after a 14-year absence.

– Dominican-to-MLB Pioneer: As a New York and San Francisco Giants scout, Martínez helped identify, develop, and sign Juan Marichal, Felipe, Jesús and Matty Alou, and Manny Mota, and many others, helping establish a pathway for generations of Dominican Major Leaguers.

Rabbit was also one of four baseball-playing Martínez brothers, alongside Antonio “Toñito,” Aquiles and Julio “Julito” Martínez, who became prominent figures in Dominican and Latin American baseball from the 1930s through the 1950s.

“This is why we call it a Heritage Cup,” Martínez-Almenas said. “It is about making sure pioneers like Rabbit and his brothers are not forgotten, while giving a new generation the opportunity to understand the sacrifices, achievements and lasting impact of the people who helped shape baseball history.”

A portion of event proceeds will benefit the Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium. Families attending will also have an opportunity to receive a commemorative bilingual Rabbit Martínez baseball card, produced in partnership with the New Jersey Jackals, while supplies last.

Tickets are $10; children 3 and under are free. Information and tickets are available at MartinezBeisbolFilms.com.

A limited number of Founding Community Partner and sponsorship opportunities remain available.
