Ocean Drive Marathon: Cape May to Sea Isle City
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.
