The Shore Athletic Club is partnering with the Monmouth University Track and Field club athletes to offer comprehensive training sessions at a state-of-the-art facility. These sessions will cover all aspects of athletic development, helping athletes master proper warm-up and cool-down techniques, engage in dynamic drills, practice mindful movements, prevent injuries, build mental strength, and enhance their event-specific skills and training.

Specialty coaches will be available for various disciplines, including distance, mid-distance, and sprints. High jump and shot put training will be available if there is enough interest and sign-ups. The coaches' insights and experiences will be invaluable in shaping our athletes' mindsets.

These training sessions are open to youth, teens, and adults. During their specialty coaching sessions, athletes will be split into age groups for appropriate and focused skill and ability development.

Event Update!

Due to the extreme and potentially dangerous water and weather conditions we will not be allowed to go into the ocean tomorrow.

The event will proceed as planned with a ceremony starting at 10AM at Beacon Blvd. Beach. Hoodie/wristband pickup starts at 9AM.

At 10:30 we will be doing a Patriot Polar Dash! - All who wish to participate can run or walk over to the abandoned sailboat on the beach (about 100 yards away) for a group photo wearing as much, or as little, clothing as you want!

We will have patriotic face and body paint and temporary tattoos available. Please do not touch or get on the sailboat.

After-party with breakfast buffet to immediately follow at Rod's Tavern in Sea Girt. Street parking is available throughout the town.

If you prefer, you may head directly to Rod's for 10:30AM and you can pick up your hoodie and wristband there.

Address for Ceremony/Plunge: 2 Ocean Ave, Sea Girt, NJ 08750

Rod's Tavern: 507 Washington Blvd., Sea Girt, NJ 08750

Please dress accordingly (as if you were going skiing) with multiple layers, winter coat, hat, gloves, face covering, etc. Do not come to the outdoor portion of the festivities if you have any underlying health conditions that would make it unsafe to do so.

Scheduled to perform are the 63rd Army Band, NJ State Police Pipes and Drums of the Blue and Gold, and current American Idol contestant and Police Officer, Julia Santiago. Also scheduled to appear are NJ State Police Mounted Unit horses, State Marine Police boats and helicopter fly-over. We will also present our 2026 Patriot Polar Plunge Veteran of the Year Award.

We will have 50/50 raffle tickets on sale for $10 each both at the plunge and at Rod's, and will also be selling Plunge Winter Hats and Extra Hoodies.

Thank you and let's have some fun helping our heroes as we benefit the LIFT Fund for Veterans at Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity!

In Honor of State Trooper and National Guardsman, Juan Fajardo

Why We Walk

Around the world, millions of people still lack reliable access to clean, safe water. Did you know that on average, women and children walk an average of 4 miles each day just to collect water? This event is not only a tribute to them, but it will also empower them. Each person who registers to walk with us will be changing someone's life that day! You walk 4 miles - and someone else in the world never has to take that 4 mile walk for water again.

It's the true demonstration of how seemingly small actions in life can have a big ripple effect!

So join us — walk with purpose, walk with community. Lead with LOVE and change a life!

In early 2021, Stacie Roman experienced a profound loss when her beloved father, John Stephen Westcott, passed away from COVID pneumonia on February 12th. Grief-stricken yet determined, Stacie sought a way to honor her father's legacy.

By June of the same year, Stacie collaborated with Rami's Heart Corp to organize our inaugural event—a walk that combined both physical and virtual participation. This gathering was more than just a walk; it was a testament to love, resilience, and remembrance. Together, we supported Rami's Heart COVID-19 Memorial, a place where the memories of lost loved ones find solace. Thanks to Stacie's efforts, we raised some of the funds needed to establish the nation's first permanent national COVID-19 memorial.

As another year passes, Stacie and the Rami's Heart team are preparing for our 6th Annual Walk to Remember. The main event will take place at the Belmar Beach Boardwalk in New Jersey, the original site of the memorial before it relocated to Allaire Community Farm in Wall Township, NJ.

However, this 5k walk/run can be done anywhere in the USA. No matter where you walk or run, your steps matter. Each stride contributes to our cause, supporting Rami's Heart COVID-19 Memorial and Rami's Heart Corp in continuing our vital work. Funds raised go towards maintaining the memorial, covering essential expenses, and hosting ceremonies and events to honor our loved ones.

As participants, you have three options:
1. Walk anywhere in the USA.
2. Join Stacie and the Rami's Heart team, along with fellow grievers, at the Belmar Boardwalk, New Jersey.
3. Join fellow grievers in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Let us walk together, side by side, carrying the memories of our loved ones forward. Together, we walk to remember. Together, we keep their legacies alive, one step at a time.

SANDY HOOK - GATEWAY NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

The Jersey Shore Half Marathon, hosted by the Shore Athletic Club, has a rich history that makes it one of the oldest distance events held in New Jersey and the surrounding areas. The first Jersey Shore Marathon was held in 1972. In fact, 2026 will be the 53rd Running of the Jersey Shore Half Marathon!

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.

Plenty of free parking is available within the park in LOT D, close to the start/finish area. Spectator parking is in LOT C.

No shuttle needed. The races start and finish on the main park road located very close to the entrance of parking LOT E. All parking will be available this year in LOT D. Lot C will be available if needed for spectators and for overflow parking. Please plan to arrive early, carpool if possible, and park in Lot D.

*- Please use the boardwalk or blacktop multi-use path to make your way to/from Lot D and the start/finish area. Please do NOT walk on the roadway at all.

It has helped restore and preserve historic structures of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse and Fort Hancock — both National Historic Landmarks.

Last year, we raised close to $3,000 thanks to the contributions of race participants and friends. Let's beat that this year!
