April Fools Half Marathon : Atlantic City
The April Fools Half Marathon takes place on April 12, 2026, as part of the Atlantic City Marathon Race Series. The event is an oceanfront half marathon held along the Atlantic City Boardwalk in New Jersey and includes more than eight miles run directly on the boardwalk.
The course is described as fast and flat and offers extended shoreline views and oceanfront breezes for much of the route. The boardwalk section covers a substantial portion of the half marathon distance and leads to a finish line area designed to host post-race activity.
The Atlantic City Marathon Race Series is organized by a non-profit JCC based in Margate, New Jersey, and the series also presents other race distances, including a marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. Race weekend features listed for the series include course entertainment, custom tech shirts, and finisher medals. The April Fools Half Marathon is presented within that series framework and shares the boardwalk and oceanfront setting used by other Atlantic City events.
