Susie Beck's thoughts:

I’ve done several races along the Jersey Shore, and have always wanted to add this race to my list. I was disappointed after completing this race today. With it being held in mid-July, the race organizers really should’ve started the race an hour earlier...at 7:30, instead of 8:30. For us in the back of the pack, it made the heat unbearable by mile 4. Also, the lack of aid stations was alarming...especially with the heat...and with the heat, at least one aid station with Gatorade would’ve been great. The residents more than made up for it though...with hoses to run under and handing out their own water to runners. Signage after the finish was lacking too...trying to find water and food afterwards was harder than it should’ve been. This was their 43rd year of having the race...you’d think they’d have it mastered by now. Unfortunately, I am one-and-done with this race. But if you’re looking for a local race, in the summer at the Jersey Shore, then give it a shot.
