Race Report by Fifty States HALF Marathon Club member Andrew Ruffino

Completed state number 10 yesterday at Rutgers Unite Half Marathon. Achieved a personal best by 1 minute! Mother nature must have been looking down on us because it didn't start raining until mile 12. Nice race and the medal was well worth it!

Asbury Park Half Marathon 2012 Race Review

New Jersey Half Marathons - Race Review of Asbury Park Half Marathon
Race Review by Kevin McConnell

I really enjoyed the Asbury Park Half on April 21 it was down the boardwalk besides the ocean half the course is down and back felt nice running on the board walk, I would do this again and one to consider if you need to do a NJ Half race plenty of stuff they give away, nice shirt, plenty of food sandwiches, snacks beverages, even beer and "Tellie" metal check my FACEBOOK page for metal and agonizing photo of me at finish, it was only $45 too not like NJ Marathon/ Long Branch Half which charges $90 for early registration and gives you hardly nothing and even though it has a nice picture of a lighthouse on the shirt only about 1 mile of the race is near the ocean ( beginning and end) the rest is in suburban Long Branch.

Winter Running Season in New Jersey

2011-11-30T12:54:00.001-08:00

Looking at the winter calendar for New Jersey, it appears no half marathons on the radar until March of 2012. Unlike states like Minnesota where the diehard runners trample a half marathon through the brutal day of winter, New Jersey half marathoners can take a rest unless they are looking to fly somewhere warm or stumble over the state line to New York for the January Hangover Half Marathon! Other than that, it's time to stay warm, enjoy the holidays and maybe think about a little indoor training and strength training over the winter.

Do you have a big race planned for 2012? Take a look at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced training plans. You can link to these training plans and many resources via our other Running Links page:
