The JSRC RunAPalooza, hosted by the Jersey Shore Running Club, returns to the vibrant Asbury Park, NJ, on April 11, 2026, offering a trio of distances to challenge every runner: a 26.2M Marathon Relay, a 13.1M Half Marathon, and a 5K.

Beyond the personal challenge, the JSRC RunAPalooza cultivates a festive atmosphere with live music and enthusiastic spectators lining the promenade, culminating in a lively finish area in Asbury Park. All events kick off at 8:30 AM, with the Half Marathon starting on Ocean Avenue, and contribute to a greater cause, benefiting the Jersey Shore Dream Center and other local charitable organizations.
