Half Marathon-Läufe in der Nähe von Ocean City

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.

The Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon Weekend takes place on an October morning in Cape May, offering three race choices: a half marathon, a half marathon relay, and the Hallowed Half 5K. All three events commence at 7:30 AM, meaning the 5K, individual half marathoners, and relay participants share the same early start. The half marathon includes strict time limits: participants must reach the halfway point in 1 hour and 45 minutes and complete the race within 3 hours and 30 minutes, corresponding to a 16:01 per mile pace. Athlete check-in is located at the rear parking lot of LaMer Beachfront Resort. Free on-street parking is accessible. The event incorporates a Halloween theme, culminating in a post-race Halloween awards party. Prizes are awarded to the top overall male and female runners, masters runners, age group finishers (from 19 and under to 70 and over), and the leading relay teams. All participants receive a long-sleeve race shirt, and all finishers are presented with a medal.
