From the Organizer
Run a brand new course that is a fast, flat, paved path through the jersey forest just minutes from Sea Isle City, Avalon, and Stone Harbor. In support of the Atlantic Cape Foundation that supports community college students in Cape May you'll run a HALF MARATHON, 10, or 5 Kilometer race on a mostly tree lined and fully supported course in Cape May Court House, NJ. Bring it!
The Half Marathon course consists of four loops. Every loop will be timed in real time! It’s a great way to build on your long run and enjoy a mid-summer race day!
The 10 K and 5 K races are on a 3.1 M loop. The 10 K athletes will have to run it 2 times and 5K will run it 1 time...so you'll have maximum fan support!

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
