Survivor Day was designated by the U.S. Congress as a day when those affected by suicide can join together for healing and support. It was designated the Saturday before Thanksgiving, as the holidays are often a difficult time for suicide loss survivors.
For the 5th year in a row we are asking all of our family and friends to come together in unity to run or walk a 5K in memory of Christian Schenk and in support of all those mourning his loss the week before his birthday.
This year we will also honor Anthony “Butchie” Kurnel III. Butchie was born and raised in Bayville, NJ, and served as a Lieutenant for 23 years at Berkeley Township Police department. Butchie was a husband, father of 3, and a proud grandfather to Anthony. He was the cornerstone to his family and held such a bright presence in the community. He was 55 years old when he lost his life to the silent killer of mental health and suicide. His legacy will live on as we remember the countless lives he has touched, all the laughs we’ve had and all of the people he’s lent his hand out to help. We remember Butchie, not only for the challenges he faced, but for the joy he brought to everyone, his dedication to his family, and the care that he brought to every aspect of life.
The anniversary of Anthony’s and Christian’s deaths are stark reminders of the lasting effects that loss and grief have on surviving families as well as the importance of bringing communities together to support one another.

RevolutionNJ

In 2026, New Jersey, like much of the U.S., will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States of America through events, programs, and ceremonies. RevolutionNJ is New Jersey’s official organization charged with planning and promoting our state’s commemoration.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for New Jersey to highlight its unique Revolutionary significance, the diverse stories of the people who lived at that time, and the lasting impact of our nation’s complex history.

It’s also a time to celebrate how modern-day revolutionaries are making strides toward equality and innovation.

SUNDAY MEET-UP RUN
2025-11-23 08:00 - 10:00
New Sunday Run Forming! Join Us in Seaside Park
We’re excited to share that a new Sunday morning group run is starting to form — and everyone is welcome!
Start: 13th Street & Ocean Ave, Seaside Park⏰ Time: 8:00 AM‍♂️ Distance: Run whatever fits your training plan! Whether you’re logging 1 mile, a long run, or anything in between, you’ll have company.
This run is all about support, community, and showing up together. No one runs alone — other ORC members will be out there to encourage, help, and share the miles.
If you’re looking to add consistency to your training, meet fellow runners, or just enjoy a beautiful Sunday morning at the shore, this is the perfect place to start.
Come out, bring a friend, and let’s build something great together!

Thanksgiving Morning Run
2025-11-27 08:30 - 10:30 | Island Heights Post Office
Thanksgiving Morning Run – A Heartwarming ORC Tradition
Before the turkey goes in the oven and the parade hits the screen, the Ocean Running Club gathers for one of our favorite traditions of the year — the Thanksgiving Morning Run!
Join us at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving morning at the Island Heights Post Office for a relaxed and festive run along the quiet streets and scenic river views. It’s not a race — it’s about friends, fresh air, and a little pre-feast movement to make that second slice of pie taste even better.
Each year, runners show up bundled in layers, coffee cups in hand, sharing smiles and stories before setting off together. Some bring their favorite Thanksgiving treats — homemade desserts, donuts, and plenty of coffee to share after the run. The atmosphere is light, the laughter is easy, and the sense of community is strong.
Whether you’re logging a few miles before family time or just want to reconnect with your running friends, come join us. Bring your friends, your family, and maybe a treat or two — because Thanksgiving morning with ORC is all about gratitude, good company, and a reminder of how lucky we are to share the miles together.
This year’s run carries special meaning. The Ocean Running Club recently lost a beloved fixture of our running community — Tom DeBartolo. Tom has been part of every Thanksgiving morning run since the very first one, always showing up with a smile and a love for the sport that inspired everyone around him. We would like to dedicate this year’s run in his honor — a celebration of friendship, tradition, and the joy he brought to every mile.
See you Thanksgiving morning in Island Heights — the perfect way to start the holiday, and to remember one of our own.
