The Race Course
It's a well crafted course of road and trail through Huber
Woods and the Navesink horse country is known to be unlike any other in the
area which organizers, like Phil Hinck of the Jersey Shore Running Club,
believe is part of the race’s great appeal
"There is a very festive and family atmosphere about
the race, especially finishing right on top of the hill at the school after
running one of the most scenic courses in Monmouth County," said Hinck.
In addition to repeat sponsorship of the Friday night, pre-race
barbecue from Outback Steakhouse, the race has continued sponsorship from The
Mountain Hill School, Alpert & Zales Pediatric Cardiology, Shore Runner,
The Monmouth Journal, Eastpointe Health & Fitness, and the nation’s largest
playground manufacturer, GameTime. New to supporting Ryan’s Run this year was
sponsorship from ING, race bags and refreshments donated by Whole Foods Market,
and lead race sponsorship from K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.
