Brielle Day is traditionally held on the Second Saturday of September and it is marked by a great 10K through the hills of Brielle. The race has a long tradition at the shore as one of the toughest 10K courses in the area.
To mark the half-way point the Brielle Fire Company with the Jersey Shore Running Club will be holding their Half Way to Brielle Day Race on Saturday, March 9, 2013. And since its half way it’s also half the distance. The event is open to runners and walkers who will make their way through a scenic course.
