Jersey Shore Rescue Mission 5K Race & Family Walk

The Mission to Mission 100K Virtual Challenge route starts at the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission in iconic Asbury Park and moves north until you reach the Market Street Mission in historic Morristown, NJ. The Mission to Mission 100 Mile Virtual Challenge route follows the same path but then continues on to our newest location, the Market Street Mission – Sussex County which opened in Newton, NJ this summer.
