All are Welcome!

Group runs help motivate our members to get out there and run in the cold, heat, rain or snow. Running with a group also provides an extra level of safety then running alone.  Regardless of your pace, you can join us and likely find someone that will run close to your time.  Each week, we have 6 organized group runs that occur from Tuesday - Sunday.  All are welcome to join in a group run.  All you need to do is show up at the designated location and time.  We are sure you will eventually want to become a member!

If you can make it, simply let someone know it's your first time, and you will be welcomed with open arms to experience a JSRC group run.  Check back here for details or check the Facebook group page for any updates.

"Sunday Runday" - SUNDAY AM Group Run

SUNDAY RUNDAY is one of two group runs that meets in Ocean Grove.  Starting the Sunday of Memorial Day, we now start at 8:00 AM on the Boardwalk (Main & Ocean Aves) right by the flag pole.  We typically head out south on the boardwalk and run through Bradley Beach, Avon, Belmar and Spring Lake and then back to Ocean Grove.  Sometimes we head north into Asbury Park. Join us and run anywhere from 3-10 miles with the great group of regulars. When it’s marathon training season, don't be surprised if runners are getting in between 12 and 20 miles.
