2026 Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler

Get ready for an exhilarating blend of speed and seaside celebration at the 2026 Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler, set to take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in vibrant Atlantic City, NJ. This 5-mile race, a highlight of the Atlantic City Marathon Race Series, promises a "party pace" atmosphere with a unique and memorable course. Runners will embark on a fast and flat journey across the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk, enjoying scenic ocean views and a lively atmosphere throughout.

The course culminates in a distinctive finish directly on the beautiful sand of Bungalow Beach, with less than 400 feet run on the beach itself. Aid stations will be conveniently located between miles 2 and 3, offering water and Gatorade to keep you hydrated. Starting on the Boardwalk at Iowa Ave. in front of the Tropicana Casino, this race provides not only a fantastic run but also an unforgettable experience. Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 79°F and lows around 60°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What truly sets the Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler apart is the legendary post-race party at the exclusive Ibiza-style beach bar, Bungalow Beach. Here, participants can celebrate their achievement with music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, including a complimentary beer for runners. All finishers will receive custom medals, and both male and female participants will be awarded gender-specific custom event shirts (tanks for women, t-shirts for men). This event is perfect for those seeking a fun, flat course with a festive beach finish and an unforgettable celebration by the ocean.
