THE NATION’S FIRST SEASIDE RESORT
Long Branch is home to the annual New Jersey Marathon & Half Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, April
26, 2020. Flat and fast with miles of boardwalk on your way, the Marathon and Half Marathon courses
offer the best of the Jersey Shore. Starting at Monmouth Park Racetrack, you’ll run in the shadows of
the shore’s iconic music joints, retrace the footsteps of Springsteen, cruise past endless ocean views in
the beach towns of Ocean Grove, Allenhurst, Deal, Monmouth Beach and Loch Arbour, and finish at the
Ocean Promenade in Long Branch.
If you’re looking for great dining, chic boutiques, ocean beach and hopping boardwalk, art, music, theater or just
relaxation, Long Branch delivers. Long Branch is many places in one, a rich tapestry of cultural currents and cool
breezes—from beloved “mom and pop” storefronts and old-world ethnic cafés to sophisticated nightspots and
upscale boutiques. Take an early morning jog or an evening stroll along the broad boardwalk and you’ll catch
snippets of many languages. Life in Long Branch is too energetic and too diverse to be confined to a single “hub.”
