I ran the NJ Half Marathon in 2018 and really enjoyed it. The expo was small, but the sponsor provided great shirts and the branded gear was high quality. The race is a point-to-point route, with parking right at the start line - huge bonus! The course isn't super exciting; it winds through neighborhoods for the first 10 miles or so, and then loops down through Long Branch and finishes on the boardwalk. The day I ran it was rainy and windy, but I imagine it would normally be a beautiful finish!
The medal was very nice and the finisher area was easy to navigate. A bus took us back to the parking lot at the start! Overall I'd recommend this as an easy half marathon.
