NJ Marathon CHEERS!
Details
• What to Expect
The New Jersey Marathon is coming up and we have cheers to deliver! A half marathon and full marathon will be happening at the same time, and the courses are identical until Mile 11.5 or so. We'll cheer at Mile 11 so we can catch both races in one place.
We may also move to Mile 25, which is on the boardwalk and just a short walk away.
The race is in Long Branch, NJ. To get there, you can take the New Jersey Transit from Penn Station on the Long Branch line. The 6:07 AM train will get you there at 7:43, and it's a short walk from the station to the cheer spot at Mile 11.
Tell your friends - let's get a crowd!!
• What to Bring
You don't need to bring anything other than yourselves, but if you want to have more fun, here are some ideas:
-
A sign! Some suggestions are here: https://www.runnersworld.com/fun/funny-running-race-signs
-
Snacks/water/coffee (for you, not the runners!).
-
Noisemakers! Clappers, cowbells, etc.
• Important to know
POSITIVITY ONLY. We're here to improve the runners' race day experience - not tell them they should be running faster or doing anything different! You can read up on some guidelines I like to follow here: https://www.cheereverywhere.com/cheer-guide-what-to-do/
