New Jersey Shore Marathon Information
Run through the diverse neighborhoods and business districts of our Host City, Long Branch, and neighboring Monmouth Beach! The 2-loop course, which has proved to be very popular with both runners and spectators, is fast and flat with great scenery and an oceanfront start and finish.
Marathon: 26 miles, 385 yards or 42.2 kilometers
Start Time: 9:00am
Start/Finish Location: On the Long Branch ocean Promenade near our Host Hotel, the Ocean Place Resort & Spa.
Important Information for all Participants:
The finish line will shut down at 3:30 PM
All full marathoners must complete the first 13.1-mile loop in 3 hours 30 minutes or less (gun time, not chip time), by 12:30 PM.
All full marathoners who are at the 13.1- mile mark after the time limit will be instructed to leave the course. The course will begin to open to traffic and on-course support will begin to shut down at that time.
Timing:
We will be using ChampionChip Timing again this year, with mats at the Start / Finish Areas and also at multiple other points on the course.
Timing Clocks, with mile markers, will be placed at each mile along the course.
Fluids:
Gatorade-Endurance Formula (lemon lime) will be available again this year at each of our Fluid Stations. Gatorade will be served first at the stations with water served second.
Fluid Station Locations:
Most Fluid Stations are less than 2 miles apart and will be staffed by many service organizations and Volunteers from some of the various NJM Charity Beneficiaries
Energy Gels:
GU, energy gels (vanilla & chocolate) will be available at multiple locations. Please be prepared to carry your own favorite gel packs that you have been training with, and only take the GU if necessary. We will have 6,000 gets on the course.
