OCNJ Half Marathon

Sunday

The OCNJ Half Marathon celebrates its 10th anniversary. Last year's races featured almost 1,700 finishers, including participants in the 10-mile non-competitive walk/run and the 5-kilometer race. Registration for the 13.1-mile race continues through 4 p.m. Thursday.

For complete information and registration, visit www.ocnj.us/race-events. Half Marathon entrants receive a 10th-anniversary jacket. Entrants for all distances receive the OCNJ landmark finishers medal and a finish-line gift.

The event showcases Ocean City's Boardwalk, downtown and neighborhoods with ocean views on the flat course. Music along the course adds to the experience.

The public can come out and cheer on runners. Ocean City mascot Martin Z. Mollusk and the high school's Red Raider mascot will make appearances. Volunteer groups man "peppy" water stations and are judged for their themes. Contact Lisa Rumer at lrumer@ocnj.us if your group would like to volunteer.

The OCNJ Half Marathon and 10-Miler start at 8:30 a.m. The event will include some brief road closings, including the closing of the Ocean City-Longport Bridge from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on race day. Drivers on other streets and boardwalk pedestrians/bicyclists should anticipate delays as the field of runners passes by.
