2026 CoMotion by the Ocean

Get ready to experience the Jersey Shore like never before at the 2026 CoMotion by the Ocean, a vibrant Hash House Harriers weekend taking place from Friday, May 15, to Sunday, May 17, in Seaside Park, NJ. This isn't your typical race; it's a celebration of camaraderie, coastal charm, and a unique running (and social) experience. Prepare for typical race day conditions with highs around 74F and lows near 50F, and a modest 19% chance of precipitation, creating a pleasant atmosphere for your seaside adventures.

The "running" at CoMotion by the Ocean involves a series of informal "trails" or "hashes," including a 4-mile option, designed for enjoyment and exploration rather than competition. Expect flat, scenic routes that often weave along the iconic Seaside Heights boardwalk, offering picturesque ocean views. These trails are renowned for their playful nature, featuring "beer checks" and leading participants through various local establishments during lively pub crawls. The Windjammer Motor Inn serves as a central hub for registration and festivities, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout the weekend.

What truly sets CoMotion by the Ocean apart is its festive, community-driven spirit. Beyond the trails, the weekend is packed with social events, including themed parties like a "Blues Brothers attire" gathering and a "Dress to Impress" Saturday night, complete with dinner and live music. Participants can enjoy free beer from kegs tapped at the hospitality suite, a world-famous T-shirt scramble, and various "hangover hashes" and "midnight hashes" that extend the fun. This event is perfect for runners seeking a memorable, non-competitive experience where the emphasis is on laughter, friendship, and soaking in the unique culture of the Hash House Harriers by the sea.
