Captain Bill Gallagher Island 10 Mile Run : Sea Isle City, NJ
The Captain Bill Gallagher Island 10 Mile Run is a ten mile road-and-beach race held in Sea Isle City, NJ, with the beach patrol headquarters at 10 44th Street serving as the start and finish area. The course is traffic free and flat: it runs north on the boardwalk to the 29th Street ramp, continues on the beach to the Strathmere turnaround, returns along the boardwalk and beach to the 57th Street ramp, proceeds to the Townsend's Inlet turnaround, and finishes in front of the beach patrol headquarters.
The route includes approximately two and one half miles on a blacktop macadam boardwalk and the remainder on packed beach sand. Evening low tide produces hard packed sand comparable to a dirt trail. There are no shoe restrictions.
Race services include chip timing, plentiful water stations, toilet facilities at the start and finish, and refreshments at the finish line. Compuscore will provide official results with gun time and chip time. Public parking is available at 300 JFK Boulevard, 125 JFK Boulevard, and 4416 Landis Avenue in Sea Isle City.
Entry fees vary by registration period and by individual or team entry; fees are non-refundable even in the event of cancellation. Race packet pick-up and race week registration are handled at the beach patrol headquarters on race day. A 2 hour 30 minute time cap applies; walkers and extremely slow runners are not permitted. Awards include T-shirts for early online registrants, trophies for top finishers and age groups, and team plaques and medals.
The Sea Isle City Beach Patrol partners with For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation to raise awareness and funds for respite experiences for families affected by cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
