With a flat, fast, and unique course beginning in Atlantic City, runners will spend a few miles running on the wood planks of the boardwalk before heading through sleepy beach towns with ocean views the entire way.
Live course entertainment, moisture wicked technical shirts and spinning finisher medals make this the best half marathon of the Spring!
• 7K & 11K on Saturday
• Half Marathon on Sunday
The 7K and 11K take place entirely on the Boardwalk, between the Atlantic City skyline and the beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean. The April Fools Half-Marathon and Shore Medical Center 7K & 11K begin on the Boardwalk at Revel Resort (New Jersey Ave. and the Atlantic City Boardwalk).
While the 7K & 11K remain on the Boardwalk, the half marathon heads south into the beach communities of Ventnor, Margate and Longport. The out and back course allows for runners to park conveniently at the Start/Finish and does not require any shuttle transportation. It gives friends, family and other spectators the opportunity to watch the runners at both the start and completion of their race.
