Runner Safety is Important to Us
With the large number of Scary Races, Turkey Trots, Fall Clasics and Santa Runs, this is a great time of year to lace up and hit the streets. Even in our every day group runs, safety is an important topic. There have been a number of inquiries received lately about our rules and guidelines for races and group runs. As such we should like to share some important information for JSRC runners and event directors from our Insurance provider, The Road Runners Club of America. Enjoy the festive running season, but please follow the recommended safety guidelines. Headphones, Stroller, and Pet Guidelines - Road Runners Club of America

Let’s face it, this is the busiest time of the year but it’s also time to think about your New Year’s Resolutions. And with all the food and drink we are about to consume over the next few weeks, you might want to consider starting 2025 off on the right foot with some extra steps!
Please join us for the 21st Annual New Years Eve Twilight 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk & Party hosted by the Jersey Shore Running Club on the beautiful Manasquan beachfront and local streets. This JSRC tradition has brought smiles to the thousands who have run it in the past. A 4:00 pm start time allows for a little “recovery time” before your late night partying. This is a SAFE and happy celebratory FUN RUN with course marshals at selected locations. Signup here.

If you didn't make it out to the Trick Or Trot...well, you missed a good one!!! Ghouls, Goblins, pets, costumes galore, BBQ, beer stand, music, and awards, all were had on this glorious weather day!!
October 27th in Deal, NJ at the 2024 Trick or Trot presented by Deal Fire Company No. 2 & The Jersey Shore Running Club was phenominal. The Shore Saves Petwalk or the family friendly Kid's Dashes were awesome. Proceeds of this event benefited DEAL FIRE COMPANY and the rescued dogs being cared for by SHORE SAVES based in Freehold, serving Monmouth & Ocean counties (www.shoresaves.com). A fun morning with awards for fastest men and women in 10-year age groups, 5 best costume awards (human and pet) and best team costume all were had.
