Jersey Shore Half Marathon

The Jersey Shore Half Marathon, organized by the Shore Athletic Club, is one of New Jersey's oldest distance running events, first held in 1972. Set in the scenic Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook Park, this flat and fast course is ideal for runners preparing for fall marathons. Participants receive a long sleeve t-shirt and a completion medal, with refreshments available post-race.

The event also features a 2-mile race and offers cash awards for top finishers. Additionally, runners can support the Sandy Hook Foundation through donations during registration. Early registration is encouraged for the best rates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
