Week 4 Runners were greeted to some ideal running conditions despite some threatening skies. All the Races the half mile, mile and 3 mile went off as scheduled.

The Firecracker 5 is rationally known for its hot sunny and humid conditions - thus making it a challenge for all the participants. Not so this year. With near ideal running conditions which were cool and overcast a large throng of runners participated in this annual Jersey Shore tradition. There were many who were decked out in Red, White and Blue in the spirit of the day. The race started and finished at the Wall Municipal Complex on Allaire Road in Wall.
In the race the first male finisher was shown finishing on the left in a time of 27:24 was Jeff Propet of Wall and for the women shown finishing on the right it was Elizabeth Campbell of Colonia in a time of 31:09.
Among the many club finishers were: Kylie Moore 52:50, Kathy Moore 53:30, Jack Cheer 36:27, Graham Wisdom 36:20, Gwen Smyth 43:47, Kyle Smyth 45:15, Tina Angello 38:33, Russ Stallone 38:56, Bob Flannery 33:08, Dennis Collin 43:00, Marty Fitzpatrick 34:01, Kevin Gaine 31:22, Diane Cheer 46:12, Larry Perlberg 36:17, Laura Perlberg 44:01, John O'Reilly 42:28, Chris Dunford 37:29, Don Sutton 44:59

If you have been accepted (check your status here) into the NYC Marathon you need to start your training and you should also be planning on your transportation to the start. The JSRC will again be offering convenient transportation to and from the NYC Marathon for runners and spectators.
Sign Up as soon as you know you have been accepted as space will be limited. We will have at least two busses and after these fill up we will add more if we get sufficient interest. The two busses we had last year were sold out so don't delay - this is the best way to get to the start and get home safely with all your running friends at the Jersey Shore.

The Club's Thursday Summer Series for week 2 was a memorable one. The Storm was fast approaching and the Kid's Half Mile and Mile Races just got in before the storm hit. Just as the three mile race started the storm came in with strong winds and heavy rains. The rain continued for most of the race but a giant rainbow could be seen greeting the runners at the finish.
in the race Jeremy Pilkington was first for the men followed closely for the women by Noel Brock who most certainly set a new course record.
The series continues next Thursday at t he Wall Municipal Complex.

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore on Saturday, May 26th. The annual Spring Lake 5 and Spring Lake 5 Kid's Races the night before kicked off the summer shore season. 9000 runners lined up on Ocean Avenue for the start, wound their way through town and along Third Avenue Downtown around the Lakes of Spring lake and a finish on Ocean Avenue. It was a bit on the warm side so some times may have been a bit slower than previous year's but the winner's times did not appear to suffer. Coming in first for the men was Robert Cannon of Toms River shown on the left in a time of 24:46 and for the women it was Noel Brock also of Toms River shown on the right in a time of 28:16.
Some 2000 kid's from ages 1 to 13 participated in the Kid's Races along Ocean Avenue on Friday Evening.
