This USATF-certified course (adjusted and re-certified in 2026) is a very flat and fast 2-loop course! The Jersey Shore Half Marathon will also be a USATF-NJ Grand Prix points race.
Sandy Hook is a scenic and historic 6-mile strip of land tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Sandy Hook Bay. Racing on Sandy Hook is a great place for a fast 13.1; a friendly place for first-time half-marathoners; and a great way to prepare for your fall marathon! Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sandy Hook and the area when you are done! All entrants will receive a complimentary long-sleeve race shirt, discounts and giveaways from our sponsors, and a customized race completion medal. Complimentary food and drinks will be available to all runners after the race.

Information Again in 2027!!! This year the race will start and finish in front of the Ed Kelly Amphitheater. Popup Beer garden & post race party with food, water, soda and n/a beer, plus German entertainment will also take place at the Ed Kelly Amphitheater. This year some big city Marathons will cost you more than $200 to enter. You probably have to fork over another $200 to get a hotel room that is within 10 miles of the start at best. By setting your alarm clock to 2:00 AM you get a shot at a parking spot somewhat close to the start and you get to “warm up” for another 3 hours until you finally get out of line for the Porta John’s. The ½ Sauer ½ Kraut offers a somewhat different experience. You can park for free at the park or nearby neighbourhood. Within minutes you will be able to pick up your bib and swag at the Ed Kelly Amphitheater (no expo, day of pickup on location only). You will be running on a mostly shaded & (mostly :-)) flat bike trail alongside the Pennypack Creek. You will
be supported by 13 aid stations (6 for the half), including Oktoberfest Aid station. Heidi, the Bavarian waitress will hand out gels, and we will invite you (yes, first beer is on us) to a non alcoholic beer and brats at the post race festivities, while “Hans” will entertain you with his accordion. Find out who else is crazy enough to run a race like this in the summer and rehydrate properly at the post race party. You will dramatically increase your chances of winning something by dressing in Lederhosen or Dirndl (traditional bavarian dress). A portion of your entry fee will be used to support the park as well as local charities. This Years Swag Back due to popular demand. High quality performance top 1/4 zip. Long sleeve, perfect fabric for fall and winter running. Zippered side pocket and thumb holes. Only guaranteed to preregistered runners. Categories New in 2027. 10KM. Featuring the easier section of the park. 1/2 and full marathon (13.1 & 26.2 Miles)Running in June, especially long
distance is very challenging.Not sure if you want to/able to run the full marathon? Sign up for the marathon (only $5 more than the 1/2), and decide during the race, if you are going to run the half or full. If you decide before mile 13 that you had enough, simply cross the finish line, get timed for the half (and officially compete for the awards in the half) and receive a finisher medal. Course Along the Pennypack Creek within the limits of Pennypack park. Course utilizes the paved bike path along Pennypack Creek. No traffic at all. You get to run miles and miles within the city limits of Philadelphia without seeing a house or a car at all. The midsection of the course features a bunch of short but steep rolling hills along with a trail section (Mount cuckoo). Some have referred to our course as an Achterbahn ("rollercoaster"). It's certainly not an easy race, but do-able, a good challenge for the experienced runner. Beautiful course along the Pennypack creek. No traffic, no cars, just
trees, nature and views of the creek.Is this a Boston Qualifier? Hell no!!!!! !!!This is a summer race, there is a good chance that high temps will make this harder than you anticipate!!! I recommend running the marathon only if you are an experienced runner, who can handle all kinds of adversity. You have been warned :-). No whining on race day. Word of Caution Running a marathon in temperatures in the 70ies and 80ies is exponentially harder than running one in November. We only recommend the marathon to experienced runners, who have ran long distances in the summer before and understand how to pace themselves in the heat, and how to stay hydrated properly. We do not recommend the marathon for first timers or PR seekers. This race is not about your finish time, it will be about how to deal with the course and the temps. You may be able to beat runners, who are usually faster than you, because you can handle the temps better, or because you manage your water intake better. We make you earn
your beer, and we will make sure, that it will be cold :-) Start Time 13.1M & 26.2M : 7:30 AM10KM : 8:00AM Start Finish Ed Kelly Amphitheater at Pennypack Park, Corner of Welsh Road and Cresco Ave, Philadelphia, PA Race Packet Pickup On race day only, starting at 6:30am on location at Ed Kelly Amphitheater.

year age groups starting at 14 Agegroup awards are quite unique. These awards come from the Black Forest of Germany. They are German weather houses. They can predict future weather pretty much as reliable as "Glen Hurrican Schwarz". Here is how they work: There is a gut string inside which reacts to all changes in air humidity. Depending on weather the air is dry or humid, the gut string changes it's position and twists more or less, so that the female turns outside when it is dry (predicting nice weather) and the male, when it is humid. Time Limit 6h 30 min for full and the half, Walkers welcome for the 1/2 , but marathon is not recommended for walkers. In order to make it in time, you have to maintain a 14:53 per mile pace. This can be accomplished with a jog/walk strategie, but would require a very brisk walking pace if walking only. Depending on the weather, conditions might get harder after 11AM. Higher temps can slow you down by a minute per mile and more. Racedirector reserves the
right to limit the race to a half marathon based on the temperatures or to implement a stricter time limit which will be enforced at the 1/2 way point for the marathon. Temperatures Temperatures in June can reach in the high 80ies. Combine that with the possibility of high humidity and you can get very unfavorable running conditions. We recommend running the 1/2 marathon , if you are not trained for these type of conditions, since conditions will be much better early in the morning (before 10AM). The course is mostly shaded,but please note, the race director reserves the right to defer all the runners to the half marathon. Timing This year we will use a disposable chip timing system. Mile markers will be placed along the course. Spectators The course runs through Pennypack park. There will be few spots that are easily accessible by spectators. You might want to check the course map on www.uberendurancesports.com for access points to the bike trail. We think the best spot is at Mile 5.5/7.5
Pennypack Park entry at approx. 8598 Verree Road, Philadelphia PA 19115.Crossing of Verree and Pennypack Bike TrailThere is road side parking, and also a public parking lot (Pennypack Park, Verree Road Parking Area) Fluid Stations Fluid Stations are within 2 Miles of each other and are staffed by local runners.
