About the 5-Mile Beach at Wildwood Crest: Half Marathon, 10K and 5K
The course runs along the boardwalk at Wildwood Crest, right on the beach, with the ocean alongside you for most of the route. It is a road and boardwalk surface, flat by nature of where it sits, and the sunrise start means you are out there with the water and the early light before the beach crowds arrive.
Packet pickup opens on race morning near the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip the day before. Post-race, there is food and drink at the finish area.
