The Duke's Holiday Half Marathon Race Fest
The event is a race festival held at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater, New Jersey, which includes a half marathon, a 10K race, and a 5K race. The park covers 343 acres and sits along the Raritan River Greenway; courses are tree-lined, shaded, and pass fields used for picnics and spectator areas.
Distances:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
- 10K Race: 6.2 Miles
- 5K Race: 3.1 Miles
The courses follow a 3.35 mile loop in the park. Runners complete the course by repeating that loop: half marathoners run four loops, 10K runners run two loops, and 5K runners run one loop. Each loop is timed in real time and participants receive splits and a final time through live chip timing and live tracking.
On-course support includes three loop stations offering water, Gatorade, and power gels. Event amenities listed by the organizer include male and female cut technical T-shirts, die-cast finisher medals (at least 3.5 inches), free race images, an optional personalized finisher video with splits, large overall and age-group awards, and post-race bagels with spreads. There is race-day bib pick-up and a secure baggage check procedure. Award categories cover overall top three and age-group top three for male and female runners.
