2026 PRESALE Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler

Get ready to kick off your summer running season at the 2026 PRESALE Bungalow Beach Boardwalk 5 Miler in vibrant Atlantic City, New Jersey, on June 6, 2026. This popular 5-mile event promises an exhilarating experience combining a fast, flat course with an unforgettable beach party atmosphere.

Runners will embark on a scenic journey along the iconic Atlantic City and Ventnor Boardwalk, enjoying expansive ocean views and the lively energy of the shore. The course, primarily flat, makes it an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a fun "party pace" run. The grand finale features a unique dash of less than 400 feet directly onto the sand at Bungalow Beach, culminating in a true beach run experience. Hydration is well-supported with water and Gatorade available at aid stations positioned between miles 2 and 3, notably at the turn-around on New Haven Avenue. In a move towards sustainability, recent editions have even utilized reusable cups at these stations.

What truly sets this race apart is the post-race celebration at Atlantic City's Bungalow Beach. Finishers are welcomed to an Ibiza-style beach bar featuring music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, with runners aged 21 and over receiving a complimentary Michelob Ultra-Light beer. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant weather, with highs around 79F and lows around 60F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running conditions before the summer heat fully sets in. Participants also earn custom finisher medals and gender-specific custom tanks or t-shirts, adding to the memorable experience of this spirited boardwalk and beach event.
