Directions & Parking
The 5K will start and finish near the Dupont Ave Boardwalk entrance in Seaside Heights, NJ. The check-in and festival area (i.e., packet pickup, pizza) will also be in that location.
🍕For drop off (Uber, Lyft, etc), you should utilize 2 Boardwalk, Seaside Heights, NJ 08751 as your GPS address. Though, be mindful that course roads will be closing around 9:00AM so it may be best to be dropped off a block or so away from the venue.
🍕For those taking public transit (e.g., NJ Transit Trains), take the North Jersey Coast Line train to Bay Head. Then you will need to arrange a rideshare or taxi to take you the remaining 10-15 minutes.
🍕For those driving themselves or otherwise in need of parking for their driver / friends / family:
- Metered parking is available from Central Avenue to the Boardwalk on first come first serve basis. Space numbers and signs will direct you to pay at the parking paystations. Payments can be made with credit card or cash (at many) paystations.
- You may also use the Park Smarter app and Text to Pay options, see the decals on the meters or check with Parking staff.
