Recurring Half Marathon races near Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
OCNJ Half Marathon, 10 Mile & 5K
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.
Ocean Running Club's Seaside Half Marathon and 5K
The Ocean Running Club hosts its Seaside Half Marathon and 5K on the central New Jersey shore in Seaside Heights. The course is fast and flat, utilizing the boardwalk, beach, and Atlantic Ocean views. The event takes place in October, with average local temperatures ranging from the 40s to the upper 60s. Participants can choose from three options: the Seaside 5K, the Seaside Half Marathon, or the Seaside Challenge, which involves running both races consecutively.
The half marathon follows an out-and-back route on the boardwalk and paved city streets through Seaside Park, extending towards Island Beach State Park. Both walkers and runners are welcome. Its flat terrain is ideal for those training for fall marathons in the New York and New Jersey areas. Over 400 participants finished a recent edition of the race, which has a history spanning nearly fifty years. The 5K begins before the half marathon, Challenge runners receive three medals, and proceeds benefit the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad and the Ocean Running Club Scholarship Fund.
AmeriHealth Atlantic City Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & G. Larry James 5K
The AmeriHealth Atlantic City race weekend takes place on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey, featuring a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and the G. Larry James 5K. The marathon, established in 1958, ranks as the third oldest continuously held marathon in the United States.
The marathon and half marathon routes traverse Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, and Longport on Absecon Island, combining sections of the casino-front Boardwalk with adjacent beachside communities. Participants also have the option to undertake King Neptune Challenge combinations, linking either the marathon or half marathon with the 10K or 5K for an expanded race weekend.
Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - 10 of 50 Half Marathons in 50 States - New Jersey
Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - New Jersey is a half marathon held in Long Branch, a city on the coast in Monmouth County. This event is one of 50 half marathons in 50 states, part of a larger series focused on running across the country.
Long Branch is a small shore city of approximately 31,667 residents, featuring low elevation and a landscape that includes both land and water along the New Jersey coast. The area was initially established as the Long Branch Commission before being incorporated as a city. Its name originates from a "long branch" of the Shrewsbury River.
Hot Mess Trail Races
Hot Mess Trail Races guides runners through Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, starting and finishing at the Danna Farm Fields. The autumn event provides two options: a half marathon and a 6-hour ultra. Both races utilize mostly flat, fast trail loops with a short section of pavement. The event begins in the morning and concludes in the early afternoon, positioning the 6-hour option as a timed challenge rather than a set-distance competition.
The course consists of approximately 95% trail, featuring winding single-track, sandy areas, and roots, yet the overall design accommodates beginners. Half marathon participants depart from the fields, complete two full circuits of the lollipop-shaped course, and access aid stations near miles 3.5 and 8.5. The 6-hour runners traverse a loop of about 4 miles repeatedly, returning to the start/finish area each lap for the sole aid station. This race is a South Jersey partnership with Second Capital Running, and all participants who finish will be awarded a medal and unique merchandise.
Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon Weekend
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.
5-Mile Beach at Wildwood Crest
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.
5-Mile Beach at Wildwood Crest: Half Marathon, 10K and 5K
The 5-Mile Beach at Wildwood Crest begins at sunrise near Rambler Park and the Wildwood Crest Beach, with the Boardwalk influencing the early atmosphere. This New Jersey shore race features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a combined 5K/10K option. The course is fast and flat, suitable for new runners, walkers, families, and those seeking a consistent pace with minimal elevation gain.
The route travels through Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest, connecting the shore towns rather than repeating a small loop. Aid stations offering water and Gatorade are positioned approximately every two miles. All finishers will receive a medal. First-time half marathon finishers also receive a plaque. Race director Mark Hughes can be found at the finish line. The event offers non-binary registration, with awards for overall and age groups, post-race refreshments, and a T-shirt included with registration.
2027 AmeriHealth April Fools Half Marathon & 8K
The AmeriHealth April Fools Half Marathon & 8K is a spring race held on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, starting at 1133 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Participants can select either a half marathon or an 8K, both commencing at 8:00 a.m. A small pace team option is also available separately.
The boardwalk serves as the primary feature, with the course covering over eight miles alongside the Atlantic Ocean. The organizers characterize the course as fast and flat. The half marathon has an entry limit just under one thousand, and the 8K is capped at just over six hundred, suggesting a focused shore race rather than a large city marathon event. The race is part of the ACRaceseries, with AmeriHealth as the title sponsor, and includes a cash-back referral program for participants who recruit friends.

About Half Marathon races in Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ
Coastal Base Miles, Inland Sand
Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ hosts 13 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Atlantic City runners keep the Boardwalk as the steady lane for Z2, intervals, and race-day legs. NJShoreRun Club brings the local scene together with weekend group training runs on the Atlantic City Boardwalk or nearby streets. Locals use Atlantic County group runs and race meetups almost every weekend and all year-round. Atlantic City Marathon Weekend anchors the calendar with the AmeriHealth Atlantic City Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and G. Larry James 5K. Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler adds a short sand dash, and the Seedorf / McMeekin 5k runs south toward Ventnor.
Hammonton riders get the inland texture after the coastal flats. The route runs 3 km by way of Moss Mill and gains 124 m while losing 152 m. The route includes 2 km unpaved. The route has no gravel. The route has 6 mi of sand. The climbs are small, so locals chase base miles, crit fitness, and gran fondo rhythm.
Summer owns the loud part of the calendar. Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler lands on June 6, 2026, The Al Mackler Cancer Foundation Annual Run lands on July 26, 2026, and CRDA Atlantic City Triathlon lands on August 9, 2026. The Boardwalk stays useful for early runs, steady tempo, and brick work off the bike. Hammonton sand can ride sandy but firm, though some soft spots can make you walk for a few steps. Winter changes the mood more than the routes. Locals keep the Boardwalk and paved Hammonton miles handy when cold weather trims the long stuff.
