The Half Marathon is flat & fast with a course that takes you from beach to bay! Starting at the Sawmill Cafe, runners will run south into Seaside Park through the residential neighborhood before running along side the bay. Runners will then be directed back to the Sawmill. But it doesn't end there - runners will repeat the same loop TWICE!

Below is our 2017 pacing team! These experienced runners are available to help you reach your half marathon goal.
I’m 52 years old, married, and a father of three boys. As a former touring tennis professional and coach, fitness has always been a way of life for me. Over these past 18 years I’ve run 32 marathons with my best times occurring over the last 6 years. I run five of them under three hours; Chicago, Philly, NYC, Wineglass, and a PB at Boston in 2:55. I have no idea of how many half marathons I’ve run but I got stuck at 1:22 on three occasions. Currently, most of my running is spent coaching runners in my area, including my 11 year old son who loves to run!
I am very excited about pacing the Seaside Half Marathon for the first time this year. I’ve been a pacer of the NJ Marathon and Long Branch Half Marathon for many years. I talk a lot when I run, so I hope I don’t bother you. Most of what I talk about has to do with staying focused, reminding you why you trained your butt off for this, and how I’m going to help you meet your goal! My pacing strategy will be to run even splits after a slightly slower start on mile one. LET’S GET IT DONE! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at bsullivan161@yahoo.com! Good luck with your training!
I'm 42 years old, married, and the father of two great kids. I've been a 'runner' for as long as I can remember, and now that I've entered the Masters category, I'd like to think that I'm in it for the long haul! I shifted focus to long distance running around 2009 and have completed ~15 marathons and MANY more half marathons since then. The ORC Seaside Half is one of my favorite local half marathons and for this reason I'm very excited to participate as the pacer for the 1:50 group.
Like you, I too will approach this adventure with my best foot forward, an open mind, and a steady focus to accomplish our goal. My pacing strategy will be to run even splits after a slightly slower start on mile one. You got this...and I'm going to be with you every step of the way.
Hello my name is Jennifer and I have been running for over 20 years. I have done over 150 races including 14 marathons, a 50K and over 25 halves and various distances which include duathlons and triathlons. I have traveled to many beautiful places to run races including my favorite, The Big Sur Marathon, in Cali! I am married and have 2 kids in college and 1 year and a half rescue pup, who runs! I would love to help you reach your goal just like so many people in Ocean Running Club have helped me!! Let’s go!
Hi runners! My name is Bunny and I am excited to pace the 2 hour group. I have completed 8 marathons but have lost track of the number of half marathons. I have also just completed my first Ultra in Philly. I am currently training to run the NYC Marathon for the 7th time. I live in Lavallette with my husband Weezer and 6 year old son Ethan, so I am very familiar with this course. Whether this is your first race or you are looking for a personal best, I am looking forward to helping you achieve your racing goal. Happy training and happy running!
