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!
