Description
Let's RUN THE SHORE 'together'!
Introducing the RUN THE SHORE Virtual Challenge, a month-long trek that will take you down the entire length of the Jersey Shore. The Jersey Shore encompasses 141 miles (227 km!) of oceanfront bordering the Atlantic Ocean, from Perth Amboy in the north to Cape May Point in the south. The region includes Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
As this is a virtual event, you can do this on your own time and from anywhere in the world. Runners can run the entire challenge by themselves or with teammates to split up the distance. This event is untimed and done at your own pace. All you have to do is strap your shoes on and put in the distance. A little ‘Jersey Girl’ on your playlist wouldn’t hurt either.

REMEMBERING TOM O'REILLY
We are honoring the memory of Tom O'Reilly, a dedicated and loved member of the NJ Marathon Pace Team. Tom recently lost a 16 month battle with glioblastoma (brain cancer).
We are encouraging all participants to consider making a donation to the GLIOBLASTOMA FOUNDATION. There are two ways you can contribute to this important organization:
- You can add a donation (in any amount) to your registration.
- Alternatively, you may join the RUN THE SHORE virtual challenge for FREE by making a donation of $15 to the Glioblastoma Foundation. This is a no-frills way of joining the challenge and does a lot of good for people fighting this disease. You can always make an additional direct donation too!
From the Thomas O'Reilly Supportful webpage:
"The world lost an amazing person after a courageous 16 month battle with glioblastoma (brain cancer). We fought hard and tried everything from standard care (countless types of chemos/treatments) to alternative care. We even gave dog meds a shot! He gave it his all, up till the end, exceeding his prognosis. For those who don’t know Tom - he was the kind of guy who had a laundry list of talents. He could play the guitar and sing so beautifully. He loved his work. He was so, so, so funny. He was kind. He was athletic. He loved bringing people together. He was just so in love with life and the people in it. But for those who knew Tom - we all know that one of his greatest gifts was making all the people he encountered in his life, whether it was one of his close friends (of which he had many) to someone he just met, just feel heard and special. Tom had this ability to motivate people and feel hopeful about the future. Tom will be so missed, but I truly believe his spirit will continue to travel in all of our hearts. We will all cherish our memories with Tom."
