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!

Hey Matt,

How do you go about becoming a sponsor/vendor for the 3rd annual run? I have watched it from my in-laws deck for 2 years now.

On May 22nd I am doing the Walk for the Wounded in Rose Tree Park (www.operationfirstresponse.com) and would love to assist on May 29th.

Thanks,
