Jersey City Marathon & Half

The Jersey City Road Runners (JCRR), in partnership with the City of Jersey City and CompuScore, has announced its inaugural Jersey City Marathon and Half Marathon will take place this April. The marathon and half marathon will be a USA Track & Field New Jersey sanctioned event on a certified course, one of the fastest and flattest in all of America. Furthermore, runners will get to race through Jersey City’s uniquely diverse and culturally rich neighborhoods.

Race a half or full marathon staged & starting in the Newport Green area of Jersey City. Then travel through Jersey City’s picturesque waterfront, Powerhouse Art District, Historic Paulus Hook District, down Caven Point Road through the Bergen & Greenville communities, & back to the Newport Green area where the half marathon will come to a finish & the full marathon will continue looping around a similar course but in reverse. See all the great neighborhoods that make up Jersey City’s Golden Door, & take advantage of all this marquee event has to offer: pre-race expo, race day bag check, refreshments, entertainment, on course support, & our fantastic finishline festivities. All registrations will come with a quality dry fit running shirt, unique 4″ finishers medal, & much more!

This event will be a 2024 Boston Qualifying Event.
