New Jersey Spring Half Marathon

The New Jersey Spring Half Marathon

The event on April 25, 2027 takes place at Monmouth Battlefield State Park in Manalapan Township, New Jersey. Organized by CityTri Runs, the event offers three distances and finishes with a tech shirt and a finisher medal for every participant. Overall plaques and age-group medals are awarded for top finishers; men receive Revolutionary War-style awards and women receive medals honoring Molly Pitcher.

The course runs on roads and trails inside the state park, with about three quarters of the route under trees and three quarters on soft dirt instead of pavement. The course is hilly, with several long inclines and no extended flat section. Water stations are provided, with three stations per loop supplying water, Gatorade, and gels.
