Organiser's description

IMPORTANT FOR 2023: DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AT OUR USUAL START LOCATION AT SEA WATCH, WE HAVE MOVED THE START ONE BLOCK SOUTH ALONG THE BEACH PATH. PLEASE GATHER ON RIDDLE WAY NEAR THE BEACH ENTRANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

This unique, SPOOKTACULAR ALMOST 4-Mile Course starts on the north end of the Manasquan boardwalk, known by locals as Sea Watch named for the historic lifeguard station at the corner of 1st and Ocean Avenues. After a full mile of ocean views along the boardwalk, runners will find themselves hugging the historic Manasquan Inlet with full views of the river. The course turns inland and makes its way toward the heart of this beautiful, picturesque town. Miles two and three will have the runners circling Mallard Park and running along the inlet waterways passing lovely Glimmer Glass Harbor. Turning away from the Glimmer Glass, runners will find themselves in the heart of this Norman Rockwell-like town setting, finishing at historic Leggetts, a Manasquan staple since 1935. If 4 miles is just too much, we have a 2-mile walk course (start and finish are the same as the run course).

Run or Walk in costume and join us at Leggett's for our costume contest.

Shirt* & bib pickup is INSIDE LEGGETT'S on Friday 6-9pm or Saturday (race morning) 8:30-10:30am. You can also sign up on Friday night or Saturday morning! Start is a few blocks north of Leggett's at "Sea Watch" on the beach. *Long-sleeve tech shirt available to pre-registrants

A big thank you to our partner, Leggett's Sand Bar!
