About the Event

Welcome to the 49th Seaside Half Marathon and 5K!!

The Seaside Half Marathon and 5K, hosted by the Ocean Running Club, is a premier running event that captures the essence of the Jersey Shore’s iconic beauty and vibrant energy. Held annually in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, this race offers participants the perfect blend of scenic oceanfront views, flat terrain, and a community-driven atmosphere.

Runners in the half marathon are treated to a breathtaking course that weaves through the boardwalk and surrounding areas, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the bustling seaside town. The 5K, ideal for runners and walkers alike, provides a shorter but equally picturesque route, making it perfect for participants of all levels.

Beyond the race itself, the Seaside Half Marathon and 5K are a celebration of fitness, camaraderie, and the unique charm of Seaside Heights. The Ocean Running Club’s dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive running community shines through, from the cheerful volunteers to the enthusiastic spectators lining the course.

Whether you’re chasing a new personal record, running for the joy of it, or taking in the coastal sights, this event is an unforgettable experience. Join us for the Seaside Half Marathon and 5K, and become a part of a cherished tradition that embodies the heart and soul of the Jersey Shore.
