Trash removal for renters can be a huge hassle on the summer weekends in Sea Isle City. Check out is 11:00am, and owners require renters to dispose of all their trash before leaving. This can be extremely dificult when you have to pack, drive through the traffice, and may not have room to stuff bags of smelly trash in your car to drop it off at the dump site under the bridge on your way out.
For this reason, all of the Real Estate companies in Sea Isle addressed a letter of concern to the City Council. Hopefully, the new cousil will realize that this is a major problem and offer City Wide trash pick up on Saturdays.

Damp, Cold, Cloudy, and Windy. These are four words that best describe an average March Day at the Jersey Shore. Although we get some great days, the chances are you will have most of the words above to describe the Ocean Drive Marathon, which takes place at the end of March.

This annual event which brings out hundreds of participants and as many spectators who cheer for the athletes, starts in Cape May and ends in Sea Isle City. Participants can run the full marathon, which is 26 miles, 385 yards, or choose one of the smaller courses. For those who can’t put themselves through 26 miles, there is a 10-mile run, which starts in Cape May and ends in Wildwood, a 5K run in Sea Isle City, or a 1.5-mile run/walk, which takes place on the Promenade in Sea Isle.

I gathered at the finishing line with the many participants and spectators and I could feel the energy and enthusiasm as everyone cheered the runners on. Although I was there for a reason, I enjoyed the camaraderie of those who participated and those who waited for loved ones to finish. The finishing time of the first, second, and third place entries in this marathon is usually between 2 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours, which is where they finished.

The Ocean Drive Marathon has many sponsors and donors who contribute to local charities in Cape May County. Among the beneficiaries of the event are the Volunteers in Medicine of Cape May County, The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, The Marine Mammal Stranding Center of Brigantine, and the High Schools in Cape May County.

If you are an athlete, or a person who likes to run, walk, or participate in a sporting event, the Ocean Drive Marathon is a great way to feel good about several causes. This annual event is one that will be enjoyed by all.
