Jersey City Summer Half, 10K, and 5K 2026

Runners begin and end at the water fountain in Lincoln Park, Jersey City, accessing the park from West Side Avenue and Belmont Avenue. The Jersey City Summer Half, 10K, and 5K offers three in-person race distances along with virtual-only options for each. This is the first annual event, and proceeds benefit JCFamilies, a local nonprofit supporting families in Jersey City. The course is structured as a loop: the 5K completes one loop, the 10K completes two, and the half marathon completes four. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 1.5 to 2 miles, providing water, Gatorade, and electrolyte gels. Live timing offers splits for each loop, RACEMAP allows tracking of participant bibs by friends and family, and finishers will be shown on a YouTube livestream.
