Long Beach Island 18 Mile Run Fundraiser and 12K Run/Walk Fundraiser
This event is a community fundraiser held on Long Beach Island on Sunday, October 11, 2026. It marks the 54th anniversary of the island run and is based in the Holgate area of Long Beach Township, New Jersey.
The main course is a straight, flat, point-to-point route that runs north along Long Beach Boulevard. The weekend includes two distances:
- 18 Miles
- 12K Run/Walk (about 7.5 miles)
The 12K departs from the same start area and finishes at the St. Francis Center. Water stations and race course supervision are provided for the 12K run and walk. Organizers ask participants to register by September 15 to assist with ordering t-shirt sizes and medals.
October conditions on Long Beach Island are described as approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit with winds generally coming from the south. Funds raised from the event are allocated to improving programs at the St. Francis Community Center.
The description above summarizes the event format, course type, distances offered, on-course support for the 12K, environmental expectations for October, and the beneficiary of the fundraiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
