From the Organizer
On Friday, July 17, we are teaming up with our friends at Brooks and heading back to the beach for another night of Friday night racing on the Rockaway Boardwalk. This race is one of our favorite nights of the summer, with a fast course, a post-race dip in the ocean, and a can't miss after party. All our welcome, but space will be limited so make sure to sign up today to guarantee your spot on the starting line!
This year's event will include three waves -- the Open Wave at 6:30pm, the Men's Wave (estimated sub 21:00 goal time) at 7:05pm, and the Women's Wave (estimated sub 23:00 goal time) at 7:30 pm. Please make sure to include your goal time at registration to ensure you are placed in the correct wave.
