Southern New Jersey - Shore Region

This rockin' mix of running and music will hit the streets of New Orleans on Sunday, February 28th. While you're in town, sample world class restaurants and Creole cuisine, talk a walk through the French Quarter, ride in a historic street car down Canal Street, shop and golf. And no outing to New Orleans would be complete without some world-famous New Orleans Jazz!

The course begins in front of the Arc de Triomphe and continues down the broad Champs Elysées. The route passes through two Parisian woods and past fabulous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and Place de la Bastille. A large part of the course runs along the banks of the calmly flowing Seine River providing pleasing scenery and ensuring flat streets at the same time. The wide avenues at the start prevent overcrowding, and the overall flatness of the course makes it fairly fast. PB setting is definitely an option. * Must finish the marathon in less than 5 hours and 15 minutes *

An exciting 2-loop course through the diverse neighborhoods and business districts of Long Branch and adjacent to Monmouth Beach.  This event makes for a great family weekend, which includes not only a full marathon but also the fun Long Branch Half Marathon.
