Celebrating its 53rd edition on October 12, 2025, the LBI Commemorative Run offers a unique fall endurance event ideal for serious runners and community participants alike. The featured 18-mile point-to-point run begins in Holgate and travels along the picturesque coast of Long Beach Island, finishing at the iconic Barnegat Lighthouse. The 12K run/walk, a more accessible option, ends at the St. Francis Community Center, the primary beneficiary of the fundraiser. Both races start at 10:00 AM, are chip-timed, include water stations, and feature shuttle service for participants. All finishers receive a commemorative shirt and medal, and the event fosters a welcoming community atmosphere while supporting vital youth, senior, and family services across Ocean County.
