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.

The Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation organizes the race to generate awareness and support for the Coast Guard community in Cape May County. The course winds past Cape May Harbor before entering the Coast Guard training center and returning to Harborview Park. The K9 race, for dogs running or walking with handlers, begins shortly after the 5K; dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet and remain calm.
