It’s a flat and fast, out and back course with a start on the boardwalk in front of Spicy’s and into Island Beach State Park and a finish back in front of Spicy’s.. Runners will enjoy great ocean and park views as they make their way on the scenic course. There will be chip timing to record accurate and timely results of all the finishers. After the run there will be refreshments inside at Spicy’s to include a buffet to quench the appetite from the run. Awards will be presented to the top 3 finishers (M/F) and top 3 in 5-year age groups (19 and under thru 70 and over). All pre – registered runners are guaranteed a technical t- shirt.
In the 5K Awards will go to the top 3 finishers (M/F) and first place in each 10-year age group (14 and under thru 80 and over).
According to Ocean Running Club’s Patty Hancock “this year we are having packet pick up the night before the race with a pasta party at Spicys ( 500 Bordwalk, seaside Hts) from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. The Half Marathon will also have pacers and a free lunch after the race”
Last year’s winners were Robert Cannon of Hadonfield, NJ in a time of 1:13:50 and Dactilla Booth of Long Branch, NJ in a time of 1:34:15.
The race will again benefit The Tri-Boro First Aid Squad of Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Berkeley Twp. And The Ocean Running Club Scholarship Fund
