Belmar Five

The Belmar Five is a small-town Jersey Shore road race that attracts several thousand runners every year, thanks to its fast, flat, and scenic course around two lakes and along the Atlantic Ocean. The sea breeze helps keeps runners cool, even in the heat of July, and the finish-line festival at Silver Lake Park is not to be missed. The event is presented by the Goodwill Hose Company, in conjunction with the Borough of Belmar and the Jersey Shore Running Club.
