Held annually, the Ocean Drive Marathon (a USATF-NJ 500 point Grand Prix event) is run on a USATF measured and certified qualifying course. This course closure directive equates to 90 minutes to pass the 5 mile mark; 2:15 to complete 10 Miles; 3:15 to complete 1/2 Marathon; and 5:30 to cross the TI drawbridge into Sea Isle City in the 24th Mile.
All participants who cross the TI Bridge in the 24th Mile by 5 1/2 hours will, upon finishing, be included among the ODM timed finishers and be eligible for awards.
