Jersey Shore Half Marathon

The Jersey Shore Half Marathon, hosted by the Shore Athletic Club, is one of New Jersey's oldest distance running events, dating back to 1972. Held at the scenic Gateway National Recreation Area, also known as Sandy Hook Park in Highlands, NJ, the race features a flat and fast half marathon course ideal for fall marathon preparation. Participants receive a long sleeve race shirt, a completion medal, and post-race refreshments.

The event also includes a 2-mile race option. Runners can enjoy beautiful views and celebrate afterward at a local restaurant. The race supports the Sandy Hook Foundation, promoting conservation and historic preservation within the park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
