Spring Races Bring Faster Summer Paces
It's been a busy Spring with lots of group runs and some pretty big races thrown in for good measure. Run-A-Palooza in Asbury Park kicked off the spring running season for JSRC with over 3,000 runners competing across the 5K, Half Marathon and Marathon Relay. It was a blustery day, but no rain this year! Close to $200,000 was raised for local charities thanks to your support! We continued the fun with the Lake Como Spring Break 5K (under the sun this year too) on April 27th, the largest edition of this race yet with over 560 registered runners, its keeps growing every year! Great pre and post race activities thanks to our friends at Bar-A. On May 4th on Sandy Hook, JSRC and the Eatontown Lions held the Sandy Hook Lighthouse 5K under beautiful weather conditions with 300 plus runners to benefit the New Jersey Blind Citizens Association & Camp Happiness. Thanks to all the runners, volunteers and supporters who came out to each of the events and make them all successful! Special shout out to race directors Joe Freeman (Sandy Hook 5K), Bob Both (Run-A-Palooza) & first time race director Vicki Trerotola (Lake Como 5K) and all of their respective race committees for three fantastic events!
Lots more spring running to be had. Check out the Area Race Calendar here to choose your next challenge!

Oh What a Night!
On February 24th, the JSRC traded in their running shoes for dancing shoes and met at the Spring Lake Manor for an evening of food, music & fun in celebration of the camaraderie that we share as an organization, the wonderful year of races and events that we had as a club, and the good that we were able to accomplish across the Jersey Shore community. With nearly a quarter of a million dollars raised and donated in calendar year 2023, it certainly was an accomplished year! Many thanks go out to the organizers, volunteers, business and organizations who organized, donated and contributed in so many ways to a wonderful event. You all know who you are and you are gratefully thanked! Here's to the year behind and the year ahead for JSRC! For all the photos of our Winter Spectacular please click here
