ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

Founded in 2015, the mission of the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation is to nurture the relationship between Coast Guard members and their families and the people of Cape May County. We host and promote family-friendly activities throughout the year to celebrate the men and women of the United States Coast Guard serving in the South Jersey region. Our programs honor Coast Guard men and women who serve our country and celebrate the county’s designation as a Coast Guard Community. We also support projects that enhance the morale and welfare of members of the United States Coast Guard and their families. The foundation partners with Cape May County, its 16 municipalities and other community partners throughout the year to present activities that educate about the deep connections between the Coast Guard and the region. Cape May County is designated as a “Coast Guard Community”, one of a select number of cities and counties in the nation. The honor is reserved for communities that show special support and consideration for the Coast Guard and was awarded after approval by the United States Coast Guard and an act of Congress. Second Capital Running produces races throughout South Jersey with the mission of cultivating strong community action and leadership through the sport of running. We are honored to work alongside the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation to bring another iconic event to Cape May.
