Running In The New Year - A JSRC festive tradition to spread cheer and support local organizations that help others in need. 

Out with 2026, In with 2027!  Soon it will be time to start making those New Year’s resolutions.  One great healthy way to start the new year off on the right foot is to bring your family and friends out to the 2026 New Year's Eve Twilight Run!    
 
Join us for the 23rd Annual New Years Eve Twilight 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk & Party hosted by the Jersey Shore Running Club on the beautiful Manasquan beachfront and local streets. A 4:00 pm start time allows for a little “recovery time” before your late night partying.  Perfect for runners, walkers, families and friends looking to celebrate the New Year in style.  Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, this is a perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, meet new people and have fun!  You don't have to be a JSRC member to participate.  There will be a free buffet for all participants at Leggett's Sand Bar following the run/walk.  

This is a SAFE and happy celebratory FUN RUN with course marshals at selected locations.  Due to safety & insurance concerns we must prohibit Strollers,Baby Joggers & Pets.  Thank you for your cooperation.
