I DNFed this route 8 days ago and decided it was time for redemption! During this run I bought 5 water bottles and a canteen full of ice for certain sections of the route. The route starts at the states capitol (Trenton) and you run across the entire width of the state and end up at point pleasant beach.
Miles 1 - 4 are a combination of road and trail.
Miles 5 - 16 are dead in the middle of nowhere all farm and plantation fields, absolutely no rest stops until you hit the 16th mile marker and there is a Dunkin’ Donuts to refuel.
Miles 16 - 24 are highway roadsides/ neighborhood side streets and a long sandy trail pathway that goes alongside behind Six flags great adventures wild safari (you’ll see some giraffes).
Miles 25 - 35 are runnable and you’ll have some gas stations and stores to refuel if needed.
Miles 35 - 45 is just the slow anticipation to get to the beach. But once you arrive there you have to reward yourself by throwing yourself in the ocean as a victory splash!
