Ahh, I was hoping/dreaming they would move it back to the last weekend in April! Pittsburgh Marathon is the same day (as is the Broad St Run).

Yeah, I'm contemplating Pittsburgh, myself....if I stay healthy.

NJ's on the boardwalk isn't it? I can't even imagine. I've NEVER been on the boardwalk without a good stiff crosswind.

Re: new jersey marathon

Only some of it is on the boardwalk. I loved it this last year and I have decided it is so close Im going to make it a regular. Very cost effective and gets my training off to a good start. I cant afford to keep travelling every time I want to run a ,marathon.

Oh, excellent. I just have an inlander's aversion to the Jersey Shore. As I'm sure you well know. To me, the only water that should touch my state is the Delaware. Can't help it, I'm a river rat.

Re: new jersey marathon

I thought about doing the Ocean Drive Marathon last year, sort of as a training run for Nashville. I might do this one if I hadn't already committed to Pittsburgh. And all these things conflict with Broad Street, one of my favorites.

We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.
