View of the Beach in Long Branch

The Beauty and the Beach Run™ is proud to be held in one of our favorite spots on the Jersey Shore. On any given day, year round, the promenade and boardwalk is busy with runners, walkers and bikers. This is not just a race course, this is where we come to run ourselves.

We look forward to sharing our love for this place and to running with each of you. We hope you will bring your friends and family and stay for the day, or the weekend. Nothing makes us happier than to see you sporting your beauty shirts on the promenade and boardwalk year-round. We hope you wear it with pride and a smile.

The race course takes you up and down a beautiful oceanfront promenade, past Seven Presidents Park, the Ocean Place Resort and Spa, through Pier Village and beside our beautiful new, post Super Storm Sandy, boardwalk. For those of you new to the area, Pier Village is a fantastic oceanfront shopping and dining destination and the Ocean Place Resort and Spa is the best on the Jersey Shore. So get your favorite ladies together and plan to spend the day, or the weekend!
