Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ

Running here is flat and beach-focused, with the Pier to Pier Challenge and Sea Isle City STOMPS Cancer 5K drawing crowds to oceanfront courses along the barrier islands. Cyclists find their terrain in the Tour de South Jersey, a 100km ride that explores the quieter inland roads and coastal routes of the Pine Barrens region south of Hammonton, where elevation stays minimal but distance builds endurance. The whole area sits at sea level with strong ocean winds—beach running is sandy and protected by the boardwalk, while cycling winds through cranberry bogs and pine forests inland before returning to the shore.
