I’ve recently taken up running - and have been at it since about October. I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon which is about 5 weeks away. In the course of signing up for races - to stay motivated - I’ve found a couple of neat marathons, 1/2 marathons, 5k’s and more.
Right now I’m currently signed up to run in Disney for my first race - with other races coming behind it. I’ll take it one at a time and move on from there. Fitness and weight loss is a big piece of this equation for me personally.
If there are other runners in NJ looking for places to race - I did find some some neat races worth mentioning here:
In May - there is a 1/2 marathon and full marathon in Long Branch. You can find info on the 1/2 marathon here….the full here. These are scheduled on May 2nd.
Another 1/2 marathon I found is a new one called the Super Hero Half and is to raise money for the Christopher Reeve and Dana Reeve Foundation. This one is being held on May 16th, and you can find information on this NJ half marathon here.
There’s an 18 mile run in LBI held by the Saint Francis parish. This one is usually held during the fall…their website is not currently updated with 2010 info as of yet, so if you’re interested check back later at the link above. On the sidebar is a tab titled 18 mile run…
If you’re looking for more information on running in NJ or races in NJ - there are two sites that offer good information - RaceForum.com and Active.com — I’m sure there are many more, but that will get you started.
