The New Jersey Summer
The New Jersey Summer takes place on August 22, 2027 at Monmouth Battlefield State Park in Manalapan Township, New Jersey. The event offers three distances: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. Chip timing is used and lap splits post live on the results page.
The course runs on the roads and trails of Monmouth Battlefield State Park, with about three quarters of the route under trees and about three quarters on soft dirt rather than pavement. The organizer describes the course as hilly with several long inclines and no extended flat sections. Yellow signs with black arrows mark intersections and indicate which distance a sign applies to. There are three water stations per loop; each station supplies water, Gatorade, and gels.
Distances
- Half marathon: 4 loops of 3.27 miles each
- 10K: 2 loops of 3.1 miles each
- 5K: 1 loop of 3.1 miles
