Belmar 5
What a day in Belmar! Over 2,700 runners hit the streets, and let me tell you—cool race-day temps had everyone smiling. ORC members were already in action before sunrise, manning volunteer tables as early as 6AM. Coffee in hand, checking in runners, handing out bibs—you name it, we were on it. But we don’t just work these races—we run them too! After a quick shirt swap, our crew made their way to the start line. Robin Gialanella crushed it, snagging 3rd in the Masters Division, and Sandy Rinderer took home 1st in her age group (way to go, Sandy!). Out [...]
Monmouth Mile at CBA
Thursday Night Lights at CBA! Thursday late afternoon, the place to be was Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ! As the day cooled down, the track at CBA was heating up. The night kicked off at 5:15 PM with the first of 12 heats—the 8-minute-plus mile group—before moving into the kids’ 14-and-under division. That race was packed with determined young runners, from speedy teens to the tiniest competitors giving it their all to cross the finish line. Spectators filled the stands and lined the fence for a close-up view of the action. Ocean Running Club was proudly represented by Rudy [...]

After a busy, hot July of XC races, the cooler temps felt great as I got back to road racing. While most of my Shore AC teammates were flying through Asbury Park, a few of us headed to the west side of NJ for the Three Bridges 5 Mile. This was my second time running it, and I wanted to beat last year’s time and run a smart race. It’s one of the hilliest races of the year, but I’m happy to say I nailed it. I started strong—but not too fast—and kept a steady, quick pace through the first [...]
