Again this year, we will be having pace groups for the Seaside Half Marathon on October 17th. We are looking for runners to be pace leaders - all paces needed. If you are training for a fall marathon and are using the Seaside Half Marathon as a long training run, we could use your help. If you would like to sign up to be a pacer, or would like more information, please contact Brian Downie. Please include the pace group (pace or finish time) that you would like to lead. Runners do not need to sign up before the race. Look for signs on race morning to find your pace group and leader. Pace group leaders will be running even splits for the entire race. Check back for more information as race day gets closer.

| Pine Beach 5K |
|
|
|
The Ocean Running Club was well represented at the 12th Annual Pine Beach 5K on Sunday. Some warm weather and some hot racing makes this one of the largest 5K races at the Jersey Shore. Close to 1000 runners cruised the quiet streets of Pine Beach, finishing along the Toms River. It was nice to see so many ORC racing singlets lining up for the race and walking around the field after finishing. James Kimani was the overall winner in a course-record time of 14:43. ORC's Jennifer Found was the first female to cross the line with a winning time of 18:24. Congratulations to Jen, Chet, Hanna and Jacob of Team Berghout for taking second place in the co-ed team division. Congratulations to new race director Eddie Baynes and Sally Kalksma for putting on another successful event. For complete results, check out the Pine Beach 5K Results page.
