Registration Alert for Athletes who use Wheelchairs
As in all of our previous events, The New Jersey Marathon (NJM) welcomes athletes who use wheelchairs to participate. However, because our course is an exact 2 loops with the same start and finish lines, the timelines involved with the half and full marathon create an unsuitable situation for either pushrim or handcrank wheelchair athletes who would want to compete (i.e. race) the marathon.
Accordingly, we welcome athletes who use wheelchairs to complete (as opposed to compete in or race) the NJM in order to, for example, "collect" the State of New Jersey for your 50 States goal. Wheelchair athletes will be given finishers' medallions and certificates of completion with time and place. As this is a complete only event for our wheelchair athletes, no awards or trophies will be awarded.
