This was my first time running this race. I had knee issues a few weeks prior and the pain return during mile 10, Obviously no fault of the race, but impact on my performance.
The race good: Flat course through a park that was mostly closed to car traffic. Friendly pacers that were pacing times other than every 15 mins.
The Course: After the start, the course went down a road and through a parking lot. The parking lot was a mess as cars were trying to drive through it as runners were also. Surprised no one was injured. The park path at times became narrow, which made it difficult for the first few miles until the runners spread out. Afterwards, the park path became clogged with walkers, racers, other runners and cyclists. Numerous cyclists were annoyed that racers were in their way. The park was nice though.
The Swag: The long sleeve race shirt was nice, the race logo over the left breast and without a plethora of sponsors on the back. The finisher medal was very underwhelming. It was small, noted both the 1/2 marathon and 5K (which I didn’t even realize was being run, if it was). There were finishers after a certain time that received different finishers medal that had spinner. Not sure but it seemed that maybe they didn’t order enough and used medals leftover from a prior year?
After race: there did not seem to be much of after race activity going on.
Since I do not live super close or in a town directly surrounding the race, I do not plan on racing this one again.

First time running this race and I did not know what to expect, and I ended up coming away very happy.
I chose to run the 1/2 instead of the full marathon because I have difficulty training for spring races due to work hours in the first few months of the year.
I arrived at the expo/bib pick up and found it very organized and well staffed. The entire weekend I was amazed at the number of volunteers and how helpful and friendly they were. The bib pick up was very smooth and the expo/vendor area was a little smaller than I was expecting, of course I had to peruse the items.
Race Day- The shuttle buses were available and the ride to the start was fairly fast and efficient. Again, the volunteers were awesome, especially those assisting in holding traffic while crossing the streets from parking to the busses. The start was the HS, which was open for use to stay warm in the gym and use the restrooms.
There were several pacing groups to choose from with varying pace time intervals, not just every 15 minutes.
The course was well marked and staffed with volunteers. Along the main/busier roads, the lanes were blocked with a large number of cones to car drivers would not be confused and try to drive in a running lane. The course had several nice tree lined roads through neighborhoods, and the road along the bay offered a beautiful view. The closing mile was a nice straightaway past the shipbuilding docks and building. It was nice to see a large flag in the distance, leading you to the finish.
The finisher medal was a nice size and weight, as well as a very nice design.
The finish area was well staffed with volunteers providing help for hydration and food. Following that, the finisher tent was well staffed and provided plenty of assistance for stretching, massage, pain-gel rubs and some goodies, including a beautiful two-toned pint glass.
The afterparty was fun, with a band playing; and runners were provided with some complimentary beer and food.
I would definitely run this race again, and may even look to run the full marathon if I can work my schedule better.

New couse this year, with an interesting up hill start.
The group of runners I was with, about 2 miles into the race, were stopped by police guards along the course to let a police and emergency vehicle through. Turns out there was a vehicle accident along the course about 400 meters ahead of us.
There was adequate water stations along the course, particularly since it was a cold and rainy day to start.
The from about mile 11.5 to mile 13 was a strategically placed uphill run, with about 200 meter downhill sprint to the finish.
The finisher medals were excellent. Very interesting and fun Halloween design. Looking forward to running again this coming year.

A nice race and course. The final few miles are a nice run on a shaded , paved trail of Loantaka Park.
I had not run this race in a few years.
The race is well organized, six pacer groups were offered, local police do a great job with traffic on the main roads and the path out of the woods and to the finish was blocked off (which hadn’t been years ago when I last ran it, allowing spectators to stand in the path, blocking your run as they looked for their runners). Glad to see this change had been made.
It was a warm day for the race and it appeared that they were running out of water for the finishers.
The race finishers’ medal is very nice, and large. When picking up the race bid, the ‘technical’ shirt I received was an orange shirt, more of a t-shirt material than a race technical shirt. There were blue and green shirts in boxes also. I did not get a chance to ask, but figured they may have been for the relay race teams. I saw the green and blue shirts being worn by runners of the full marathon, and they were more of a technical/wicking shirt than the orange one that I received. I didn’t register late either.
My race time would have been better had I not had tried running a pace that I knew I had not trained to maintain for the full distance. I need to be more aware of my limitations and race for what I trained to do.

Race was finally run after COVID delays and moved from the spring to the fall. Fall races are better for me, training wise. The course was mostly flat and scenic, starting and ending on the boardwalk and spending miles in parkland.
The volunteers were top notch.
The race swag was awesome! Large finisher medal, beer glass and running visor.

Super organized packet pickup. The Expo was awesome, and really enjoyed speaking with some of the Marines that were there and hearing about what had changed since I served.
Brooks needs to bring more merchandise to the expo so they don’t run out of so much. The after-race merch stand was also out of my size by the time I finished.
The race is absolutely awesome. Running through the capital and finishing at the Iwo Jima Monument was awe inspiring. The young lieutenant volunteers are very motivating. Semper Fi Devil Dogs.

The Expo is huge, as it needs to be for a large race, the Nike march is overpriced.

The good – great finisher medal, awesome race shirt, Blue-Grey team competition, including a portion of the battlefield on the race route.
The bad – very difficult, hilly course, almost no crowd support, although the cow support was good with ‘moos’ keeping me going.
The ugly – my race time.
I enjoy marathons that have a half option also, so my son will come and run a race with me.
The few spectators that were out there were wonderful.
The other runners were awesome, providing support to each other and running next to battlefield monuments really moved me knowing the history of the historic battle and that I was running and looking out over where they had fought so valiantly.

This was my very first marathon.
The start was cool as it had us running from the Monmouth Racetrack. The course was primarily flat as it made its way to the shore and the crowd support was awesome. After the half-marathon runner split off, it felt very lonely, especially running past the mansions of Deal where there was almost nobody out to cheer you on. Hitting Asbury Park and running on the boardwalk was great and the shore breezes were a welcome relief.
The long sleeve race shirt was nice and the race medal was a good size.
