Thursday Night Group Run moves to Asbury Park!
|
|
As the birds start to fly south for the winter, it’s time for the Thursday Night Run’s annual migration north to Asbury Park. Starting Thursday, September 26, we will meet at 6pm inside Convention Hall in Asbury Park. Unless there’s an event, you can usually avoid paying for parking by parking in the lot behind the Wonder Bar. Everything else remains the same - typical distance is four to six miles. All paces & experience levels welcome. And we still go out to dinner after the run.

The cost for volunteers is $10 each.
The bus will leave from the commuter parking lot at Exit 109 of the Garden State Parkway.
The bus leaves at 8 a.m. sharp!
Get there late and all you will see is tire tracks.

NYC Marathon Volunteers must sign up at:

Masha Moro
I just signed up for the April 4, 2020
RunAPalooza
half-marathon run in Asbury Park.
Why? I’m making it my personal goal to run the NYC Marathon on November 1, 2020 to mark my turning 40 this November. I believe the
RunAPalooza
half will help me get there.
I’m new to running, but can run a 10-minute mile for about four
continuous
miles fairly easily.
I’m married and we have two boys: 1 and 2 years old. I recently retired from a 13-plus years of Wall Street banking career. Got my NYU MBA in 2015, but after having kids, we decided to permanently move to Monmouth Beach, NJ. I’m now finding myself in need of greater goals outside of raising kids and maintaining a household. I need a new challenge!
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I’m happy to be a JSRC member.
