The JC Green Half, 10K, and 5K
The event is held in Lincoln Park, Jersey City, and uses a certified measured course that includes paved roads, bridges, paths, a lake, and historic monuments. The in-person options run on looped courses: the half marathon is four loops of a 3.27 mile circuit, the 10K is two loops of a 3.1 mile circuit, and the 5K is a single 3.1 mile loop. Parts of the course are on paved surfaces and about 0.5 mile is on a hard packed path through a wooded area.
There are water stations roughly every 1.5 to 2 miles offering water, Gatorade, and gels. Course signage and staff help direct runners. Live timing is provided with a split per loop. Photographs and video are uploaded on the day of the event.
Participants receive an A4 technical running shirt available in male and female cuts, a personalized bib if registered at least four weeks in advance, and a die cast finisher medal with a full-color ribbon. Awards and plaques are given to the top three overall male and female finishers for all distances, and to the top three in each age group as listed by the organizers.
Post-race provisions include bagels with spreads, organic jelly, peanut butter, fruits, and drinks. Packet pickup and baggage check are available on race day. Virtual-only entries are offered for 5K, 10K, and half distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
