The Experience

Join us for the NJ SUMMER HALF MARATHON, 10K, 5K run festival in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ...only across the river from Manhattan. The course is made for uber fan support, just long enough to keep you interested and so that anyone going long gets support from family and friends each time they make a pass at the start and finish line .... and turn around point of the race.  Paved roads and stunning views of the NYC skyline.  The race is fully supported with 3 expertly managed support stations with Gatorade, water, and gels.  Live timing and live tracking so that we can see your progress on a digital map throughout the entire event.  Live streaming of the finish line with photography and finisher videos for all.  Add to this some really big and beautiful finisher medals, soft and comfortable technical t-shirts, and food and beverages to go along with the music and fun at our always memorable awards ceremony.  So, don't wait, this race will sell out.  Join us now and make it happen at the NEW JERSEY SUMMER HALF MARATHON, 10K, 5k run festival.
