Organiser's Description
*UPDATE FOR 2025*
Due to upcoming construction projects on Sandy Hook in 2025, National Park Service has requested we use a modified course from previous years. There will also be a cap on attendance at 700 participants and a start time of 8:00 AM.
The 10th Annual Run The Hook is a 5K/10K race at Sandy Hook National Park, NJ in support of local non-profit CLEAN OCEAN ACTION. All runners receive a commemorative pint glass as they cross the finish line in addition to a t-shirt, closed course on Sandy Hook National Park, and chip timed results.
A portion of proceeds from the race go directly to the organization so they can continue to work to improve the quality of our local bodies of water and protect them from pollution and industrialization. The race is fittingly situated on a less than 1 mile wide peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Sandy Hook Bay giving runners an opportunity to run in a truly unique and natural setting.
Run The Hook is proud to be a single-use plastic free event as part of our mission to rid the beaches and oceans of plastic litter and pollution.
Advanced bib and shirt pick up will be at Road Runner Sports on Saturday, May 10th from 11 AM - 2 PM. Same day pick up will be available starting at 7:30 AM in the start/finish area. You are able to pick up for multiple runners if you have their bib numbers. Bibs will be assigned at check-in.
