Register Early for Cape May’s Beachfront Run

CAPE MAY — There’s no time like the present to sign up for the 31st Annual Cape May Beachfront Run to be held Sept. 20. The run features, certified two-mile and five-mile courses along the beautiful Cape May beachfront. Runners have access to three rest stations (stocked with bananas and bottled water) before and after both races. All runners receive t-shirts, and both races award overall and age-group trophies as follows: for the 5 miler, the first three men, first three women, first three in age groups and the team title; for the 2 miler, the first male, first female, and top two in age groups.
Both the 2 miler and the 5 miler start and finish at Cape May Convention Hall beginning with the two-mile at 8:30 a.m., an out-and-back course with the turnaround point just beyond Pittsburgh Avenue. The five-mile starts at 9:15 a.m., following the completion of the two-miler.
Early registration is $23, and day of race registration is $28. For information call Cape May Civic Affairs at 609-884-9565 or pick up race registration forms at Cape May Convention Hall. Runners can also register online at www.discovercapemaynj.com. Race-day registration and packet pickup begins Sept. 20 at 7 a.m. at Cape May Convention Hall.
