Step into a historic autumn run as the inaugural New Jersey Fall Half Marathon debuts at Monmouth Battlefield State Park, site of the pivotal 1778 Revolutionary War battle—a National Historic Landmark.
Runners will loop through scenic, tree-lined roads with a USATF-style format: four 3.27-mile loops for the half, two loops for the 10K, and one loop for the 5K. Chip timing, live video streaming, and aid stations every mile offer a professionally supported experience on a course that’s challenging yet inviting, ideal for PR seekers and history enthusiasts alike.
What Makes It Unique
- Historic setting: Run where American forces clashed in 1778—extra layers of meaning and scenery.

- Festive finish: Post-race celebration includes muffins, cider donuts, fruit, drinks, and finish-line photos/video to capture the moment.
- All-in-one event: Three simultaneous distances, uniform start time, and tournament finishes make it a cohesive, communal experience.
