Half Marathon-Läufe in der Nähe von Linwood

The OCNJ Half Marathon, 10 Mile & 5K begins at the Ocean City Music Pier on the boardwalk at Moorlyn Terrace. This October race morning in Ocean City, New Jersey, offers three distances: a half marathon, a 10-mile run/walk, and a 5K run/walk. The half marathon and 10-miler start first, followed shortly by the 5K. The course is fast and flat, utilizing Ocean City’s boardwalk, downtown streets, and oceanfront views instead of hills or technical terrain. This setup suits runners aiming for a quick time, walkers in the 10-mile or 5K, and local families preferring the shorter distance. Packet pickup is at the Music Pier before race day, and the longer races do not allow race-day registration. All proceeds support Ocean City Recreation Scholarships and Programs.

Das AmeriHealth Atlantic City Laufwochenende ist auf dem Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey, und bietet Marathon, Halbmarathon, 10K und den G. Larry James 5K an.

Man kann auch die King Neptune Challenge Kombinationen machen, indem man entweder den Marathon oder Halbmarathon mit dem 10K oder 5K für ein erweitertes Laufwochenende verbindet.

Das "Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - New Jersey" ist ein Halbmarathon, der in Long Branch stattfindet, einer Stadt direkt an der Küste in Monmouth County. Dieses Event ist Teil einer größeren Serie, bei der in 50 Staaten 50 Halbmarathons gelaufen werden – da geht's darum, laufend das ganze Land zu durchqueren. Long Branch selbst ist eine kleinere Küstenstadt mit circa 31.667 Einwohnern. Die Gegend ist ziemlich flach und die Landschaft entlang der New Jersey Coast besteht aus einer Mischung aus Land und Wasser. Ursprünglich war die Gegend als Long Branch Commission bekannt, bevor sie dann als Stadt eingemeindet wurde. Der Name kommt übrigens von einem "long branch" – also einem langen Seitenarm – des Shrewsbury River.

5-Mile Beach at Wildwood Crest starts at sunrise by Rambler Park and Wildwood Crest Beach on the New Jersey shore. The race series gives runners several choices on the same morning: a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a combo for people who want to run both the 5K and 10K. The setup is friendly to walkers and families, and registration includes a non-binary option with its own overall and age-group awards. The course is fast and flat, using the Wildwood boardwalk and roads through Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. Ocean views are part of the run, with water and Gatorade stops about every two miles. Everyone gets a finisher medal, first-time half marathon finishers can pick up a special plaque from race director Mark Hughes, and the finish area includes food, drink, T-shirts, and the organizer’s usual race swag.
