Be the first Runna to sign up!
Race weekend on Absecon Island delivers two days of seaside running with casino-skyline views and Atlantic breezes. Saturday gets things rolling with the G. Larry James 5K and 10K, while Sunday showcases the marathon and half marathon over smooth, mostly flat roads and stretches of the historic Atlantic City Boardwalk—ideal for PRs. Runners craving extra spice can enter King Neptune combo challenges (pairing a Sunday distance with a Saturday race) for additional hardware. Logistics are simple with central start/finish areas, lively on-course support, and a shore-town finish line vibe that feels like a mini-vacation with medals.
