The Sea Isle City Beach Patrol will host the 2016 Captain Bill Gallagher 10-Mile Island Run on Saturday, August 6, at 44th and the Beach. Individual runners as well as members of organizations and running clubs are invited to participate in this popular competition.

The 10-Mile Island Run will begin at 5:30 p.m., rain or shine; however, an electrical storm will necessitate postponing the run until the first evening that conditions permit.

The race takes place on a traffic-free, flat course.  Approximately 2.5-miles of the course is on Sea Isle’s paved Promenade (boardwalk) and the remaining distance of the course is on the beach.  Low tide occurs at 5:04 p.m. on August 6, which will provide runners with four-hours of excellent running surface on the sand.

Online pre-registration for individual runners is available until Wednesday, August 3, at 11:59 p.m. for $20.00. Registration by mail or in-person for individual runners is available until Saturday, August 6, at 4:30 p.m. for $30.00.

Online pre-registration for Teams and Clubs is available until Wednesday, August 3, at 11:59 p.m. for $22.00 per runner.  Registration for Teams and Clubs by mail or in-person closes on Saturday, August 6, at 4:30 p.m. for $32 per runner. The number of runners allowed per team is unlimited.  All team members must complete their own registration form.
