13 Spots Available!

Looks like another sell out! Registration will soon be closed, as there are only 13 spots left. Get movin'!

The past 2 years, we have given Polar Water Bottles, (along with a long-sleeve t-shirt), out as give aways. Polar Bottles are awesome, but we thought we would switch it up this year!

Each participant will receive a long sleeve (yellow) t-shirt - in addition to a pair of these......

With Lock Laces, you never have to stop to retie your laces during any race, sport or activity.

Look for them inside your race packet this year!!!

33 Days and Counting...........

Wow - only about a month away from race day, and we are almost SOLD OUT!!!!!

Thank you to all of you who have registered to race or volunteer, and a very special THANK YOU to our sponsors and families who have donated! The amount of support we have received is amazing.

****PLEASE NOTE RACE TIME HAS CHANGED TO A 7 AM START. ALL PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS MUST ARRIVE BY 6:30 AM!!****

I have mentioned in my last post that the course will change a bit - these changes are still in effect, and have even been altered a bit more (confused, yet?).

Swim course will stay the same. When leaving the transition area, racers will head North on Pleasure Ave, turn Left on 39th St, and then a Right onto Landis Ave - heading North into Stathmere.

The bike route will now be 1 Loop. Upon turn-around, racers will head back South on Landis, making a Left onto JFK, and back into the transition area. The bike route will now total 8 miles, as opposed to 12.

After leaving the transition area, participants will enter the promenade and run South to 58th St, exit the promenade, run North on Pleasure Ave, and then back onto the promenade. The finish line will be on the North side of the Pavillion on the promenade at JFK Blvd.

Refreshments will be off the promenade, on JFK Blvd. for all race participants. The Award Ceremony will be held on the promenade as well.

I will be updating the prizes and give-aways soon, so stay tuned!

Times, They are A-Changin'!

For those who have competed in the past, there will be quite a few changes in the race course this year.....

Landis Ave (the main road in Sea Isle) is under construction, and it is not looking like it will be completed in time for race day. We have a few alternatives in the works - the most likely route will be to exit the original transition area, make a right onto JFK Blvd, a right onto Landis Ave, and head North into Strathmere, making 2 loops, and then heading back to the transition area.

Another issue that we are "running into" is high tide. The peak of high tide will come in the middle of the "beach run" to finish the race. Due to the fact that there will be little beach to run on, softer sand that will cause more injuries - the "beach run" will now take place on the promenade and Pleasure Ave (the road closest to the beach.) The finish line will be on the promenade this year.

The city of Sea Isle has been wonderful in working with us to ensure that every aspect of the race is taken care of. We want this year to be just as much (or even more!) of a success as it has been in the past.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up thus far. As of today, there are only 93 spots available - I am looking forward to another sell-out!!!

Again, thank you to all of our sponsors. We could not do this without your support!
