The Ocean Running Club's Seaside Half Marathon and 5K, held annually in scenic Seaside Heights, New Jersey, is a premier event renowned for its flat and fast course along the iconic Jersey Shore boardwalk and bay area. Participants can choose from three distinct challenges: a Half Marathon, a 5K, or the exciting "Seaside Challenge," which dares runners to complete both the 5K and Half Marathon back-to-back. Beyond the diverse race distances, this community-focused event is praised for its breathtaking ocean views, supportive atmosphere, and the vibrant energy of the seaside town. It offers a memorable experience for runners of all levels, from those chasing a personal best to those simply enjoying the coastal beauty and camaraderie.
