New Jersey (Shore) Marathon
Long Branch Boardwalk... Early May
Fast and flat. Great Boston qualifier. Ran a 3:26:46 in the rain in 09', a 3:44:24 in bright sun in 11', a 3:36:15 in '12 and a 3:30:25 in 14'. In 2011 hit the 1/2 at 1:38.. and payed for that later. Still got my BQ, but under the new rules, missed the 2012 cut by 23 seconds!! In 2014, I went to the front of my corral and went out with the 3:30 pace group and finished 25 seconds behind them in perfect running conditions - despite a 16 mph headwind the final 7 miles running north. In 2016, rain and 45 degrees, put down a 3:37:17 after 21 miles of 8 minute miles. This is a single loop course that begins at Monmouth Race Track and finishes on the Long Branch boardwalk at Pier Village. Course extends through several shore towns to the north and south of Long Branch with a turnaround in Ocean Grove.
7:30 am gun. About 4000 compete in the marathon.
