Fellow NJ Runners

What is your next race?

MH and I did the NJ Marathon (half) last weekend in Long Branch and I want to continue my runs througout the summer. Looking for something at least 5 miles. I just noticed that the George Sheehan Classic wa switched to a 5k and not a 5 miler.

Well I am farther south than you, but I am doing a 10K at Washington Crossing State Park (on the PA side) on July 4th.

Also, I am moving back to TX in August, so I (obviously) won't have any runs in this area after that. I am tossing around the idea of training for a HM in Houston in November, December or January.

im running superhero this weekend (in morris twp). and then a bunch of smaller local races. i usually stop racing in mid-june due to the heat.

as of now, i have no other big races except the marathon in the fall (which isnt in NJ). i did a half last fall on labor day that was up by me that i might do again this year. i havent decided yet.

I am planning on doing another half in the fall. Not sure if the Jersey shore again (Sandy Hook) or the Atlantic City Half in October.

It seems to be pretty common that they are "downgrading" alot of races to 5ks around these parts. People went nuts when the Sheehan classic got knocked down to a 5k!
I think the next local 5 miler is the Spring Lake 5 (which is damn near impossible to get into). Then the Belmar 5 in July is always a fun race (even though it's hot)
The Brielle Day 10k is a nice race in September (be prepared for hills though).

I'm toying with the idea of the AC Half or Full at the end of October.

I second the Belmar 5 in July.

I'm sort of NJ and PA (i work and own a house in NJ but live with FI in PA), our next race is the Pocono run for Red on Sunday.
then we will be doing the tortoise and hare on 28 May, Kreidersville Covered Bridge on June 2nd, Ogdensburg on 16 July, YMCA fire cracker 4 miler (not listed to sign up for yet) on 4th of July, Shades Of Death 1/2 relay, Runners world 10K, South Mountain 5 K or 10 miler (undecided)

i am sure we will have more to run.

I'm a PA runner but I spend weekends at the Jersey shore. I'm running the 8K portion of the Wild Half in Wildwood on 8/26. I think there is another 5 miler in early August in wildwood that I will try to run.

Is anyone running the half marathon in Trenton this fall? I've been considering it, but I'm not sure. It's the first year they're having it.

I pretty much just do local 5k and 10ks, and then do larger races in Philly.
