the Novo Norodisk New Jersey Marathon and
Half Marathon and endless 5Ks in between,
Monmouth County is born to run! And it’s not
just for people: check out the TGV.com Haskell

Fabulous Food Events
Why limit yourself to one restaurant when you can sample
several of the best? Find a gourmand’s feast of fantastic food
events throughout the year. Many towns host ticketed restaurant
and wine tours, where you can sample specialties at many fine
restaurants. Find craft beer festivals in Highlands, Asbury Park,
Red Bank and Monmouth Park, to name a few. Oyster, clam and
seafood festivals are a specialty of the house along the shore.
Barbecue fests and pub crawls abound. Eat your way through the
event that started the food truck craze in New Jersey, the famed
Monmouth Park Food Truck Fest over Memorial Day weekend.
