Endurance Racing in New Jersey

New Jersey's dense population and proximity to New York City and Philadelphia create one of the most active endurance communities in the country. The state hosts hundreds of road races annually, from the New Jersey Marathon along the shore to community 5Ks in every county. The Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey offer surprisingly remote trail running through a million-acre forest ecosystem. The Jersey Shore provides flat, scenic courses for half marathons, triathlons, and open water swims in the Atlantic. Cycling events navigate the rolling farmland of Hunterdon and Somerset counties, which also host growing gravel rides. Spring and fall are peak racing seasons, with the shore communities hosting events well into November. New Jersey's running clubs are among the most organized in the Northeast.
