Captain Bill Gallagher Island 10 Mile Run
The Captain Bill Gallagher Island 10 Mile Run is scheduled for August 1, 2026, in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. The start and beach patrol headquarters are located at 10 44th Street on the boardwalk.
The course covers ten miles with approximately two and one half miles on blacktop macadam boardwalk. The remaining distance is on the beach; low tide is listed at 4:17 PM so the beach portion will be on hard packed sand similar to a dirt trail rather than soft sand.
Registration is online only; there is no mail in registration. Online entry fees begin at $30 for individual early registration and $35 for team early registration, with higher fees for later and race week registration. Entry fees are non refundable even in the event of race cancellation. Race day registration and packet pick up occur on August 1 at the beach patrol headquarters between 12:00 noon and 5:00 PM. Race day payments are accepted in cash or via Venmo only.
Features include chip timing, gun time and chip time reporting, finish line refreshments, multiple water stations, and toilet facilities at the start and finish. Public parking is available at 300 JFK Boulevard, 125 JFK Boulevard, and 4416 Landis Avenue, Sea Isle City, NJ 08243.
Walkers and extremely slow runners are not permitted. A time cap of 2 hours 30 minutes will be enforced; when the race clock reaches that limit finish line breakdown and medical withdrawal procedures will begin.
Awards include heavyweight printed T shirts for the first 1000 online registrants, trophies for the first through tenth overall finishers in male and female divisions, age group trophies, and team plaques and medals for scoring members. Team scoring uses cross country scoring with the first four finishers scoring; entries per team are unlimited and eligibility rules apply. Awards will be presented at an awards ceremony at the beach patrol headquarters at 7:30 PM. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
