Event Overview
The Run Rockaway Beach Fathers Day event takes place in Rockaway Beach, New York. Participants can choose between two primary distances:
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
- 5K (3.1 Miles)
The start and finish lines for both distances are located at Beach 94th Street on the boardwalk. Both courses are USATF certified, ensuring accurately measured distances for all participants.
Course Layout
The half marathon consists of two loops along the boardwalk. From the starting point at Beach 94th Street, the route heads west to Beach 124th Street. After a U-turn, it continues east to Beach 54th Street, where another U-turn sends the field back to the Beach 94th Street point to complete the loop.
The 5k follows an out-and-back path. It begins at Beach 94th Street, travels west to the U-turn at Beach 124th Street, and returns east to conclude at the original starting point on 94th Street.
Participant Information
Public parking is available in a dedicated lot located on Beach 94th Street near the event site. For the half marathon, there are at least four water stops positioned along each of the two loops. Both water and Gatorade are provided at multiple locations throughout the course. Participants receive a T-shirt and a medal upon completing their respective distances. Bib tag and shirt pickup are organized on the morning of the event at the boardwalk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
