The NJEA George M. Adams Boardwalk Run is nine months away. There’s plenty of time between now and Nov. 8, 2024, to get ready for the 5K run. And last year’s run proves you’re never too old to start: runners who ranged in age from under 19 to over 80 ran the 3.1 miles up and down the boardwalk.
For inspiration, below are the times for the up to the top three runners in each age and gender grouping. For all runners’ results go to njea.org/bwrun2023.
