It was an ideal evening for a "stroll" on the beach for the participants in this year's Beach Run to benefit Clean Ocean Action. Check out the photo album above for lots of pictures.

Perhaps a Change of Pace?
A running partner offers variety, conversation, challenge and motivation. The JSRC'sMix
andMatch Profile Exchange is not just for those looking for a relationship. We have many
profiles ranging from happily married people looking for a running partner to break the monotony
of running solo, to many singles just looking for someone to run with in the hope that it will
motivate them to train more consistently and have a friend with a common interest.

Alicia Kelly made it two top finishes in a row at the Avon 5k this past
Saturday. Coming off her triumphant Spring lake 5 Alicia topped all
women in this Jersey Shore favorite. Dave DeMonico (on the right) who
last week in Spring lake had trouble staying on his feet at the finish (see
picture below) was first overall, getting back into top form. It was a bit on
the warm side for the 500 plus runners who traversed the ocean front and
through the tree lined streets of Avon by the Sea. When we get results we will post them - check
back. Among the Club Finishers were:
Tom Mulvaney - 20:18
Jim Buckler 22:30
Linda Piff 25:25
Jeff Brill 27:52
Tom Natoli 26:44

program starts on June 26th. There will be an Open House to learn more on Sunday, June 23rd at
Holmdel Park from 3 to 5 PM. Get more information at:

A record crowd of over 9000 was treated to ideal conditions for this year's Spring Lake 5. The town of Spring Lake was gracious as ever in supporting and cheering on the huge throngs of runners who traversed the ocean front, tree lined streets, downtown and around the three large lakes in the beautiful Jersey Shore borough. The weather was near ideal with a with a bit of a Northerly wind which the runners had to struggle through for the first mile and final few hundred yards to the finish. The men's winner was Scott Defillipis of Tinton Falls(pictured on the right in town)in a time of 24:50. For the women it was Spring Lake Heights resident Alicia Kelly in 29:08 (on the left below crossing the tape)coming back to win her fourth Spring Lake crown. Alicia won her first Spring Lake 5 in 1992 so her domination of the event has lasted 10 years. Coming in second for the women was 11 year old Brianna Jackucewicz of Farmingdale in a time of 29:30. For Defillipis this was his first Spring Lake victory. He split from the lead pack at mile 3 and from there on was never challenged. Coming in second was Pat Hennigan of San Diego, Ca in a time of 25:33. On Friday evening over 2000 kids participated in the Kid's races along Ocean Avenue.
Congratulations to Race Director, Phil Hinck in his first year as Race Director did a fantastic job in orchestrating the massive event. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the event a success.

Ed Hahn Jersey Shore Running Club member now stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington recently completed his 40th marathon on May 6th in Olympia Washington in a time of 4:01. Other recent marathon finishes included Yakima River Canyon in 4:25 and Vancouver, British Columbia in a time of 4:21. All three marathons were completed in April and May of this year. Congratulations to Ed!
The first annual (or possibly bi-annual) Bar A Half Marathon was about the most fun half marathon around. The trolley took runners from Bar A to the start on the boardwalk on Tenth Avenue. From there runners went north through Avon, Bradley Beach, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, Loch Harbor, Allenhurst, Deal, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach and then to the finish at Donavan's in Sea Bright. At the finish runners were treated to a post race party. It all ended with a trolley ride back to Bar A. Congratulations to Pat and Reggie for an outstanding a fun event. Most of the runners were asking that it be put on again in the fall - but this time in reverse from Sea Bright to Belmar. Stay Tuned!

Opps it seems that we started a week early and got a little turned around. Maybe that's why we didn't see any Bar Anticipation Trolley loaded with refreshments and the infamous PROMO GIRLS. We started out before daybreak, got terribly confused in the fog and turned south instead of north to Donovan's. After a little more than what seemed to be an eternity, we finally reach our goal. ( See Photos for proof ) The elusive Donovan's Reef Bar right on the beach. The only problem is that this Donovan's Reef is located in Panama City Beach Fla. Where we spent the last week training for a nice long Hot run along the Atlantic coast by practicing along the Gulf Coast.
We witnessed a Ironman Tri-athalon which was hosted by the City on Sat. 5/11. Hope we can get turned around this week and have a much shorter journey. See you all on Sunday at the Real Bar A Half Marathon...
Th Club for the tenth straight year supported the Special Olympics Track and Field Meet at Long Branch High School held this past Saturday, May 11. The Long Branch High School Marching Band led opening ceremonies leading all the athletes onto the field. Over 300 athletes competed in many events from a 10 meter wheelchair race to 4 x 400 relays around the track. Lots of club members provided support to the many athletes who were competing from Monmouth and Ocean County. This was the preliminary for the state finals to be held next month in Trenton. A sea of orange could be seen on the Long Branch High School Track where club members and many family members contributed to making this another success on a sunny bright day. Congratulations to Jeri Hickey and Lisa Wilhelm of Special Olympics and thanks to all the volunteers who came out. It was a fabulous experience for all the athletes and volunteers and a very special day for all. Everyone was looking forward to nest year.
The way to improve your speed is to do Track Work Outs. They can be fun when done as part of a group. There are two opportunities locally:
Wednesday, 6:00 PM - Ocean Twp. High School track, WEst Park Ave. All levels and everyone is welcome.
Wednesday, Point Pleasant High School - Near Hart's Idle Hour - 6 PM.
