    This is a really great race. It's set up early and there are plenty of freebies and fun for runners…read moreand guest, alike. It's located in Morristown, NJ and the entire half starts on Ginty Field, going along the trails and through beautiful residential streets, all the while affording lovely views. There are plenty of motivation coming from the bystanders giving out Gatorade and water along the course at every mile. There were plenty of giveaways and I was able to receive a PT stretch before my run and a professional K Tape application that I was still wearing days later that has done wonders for my IT Band issues. With this race, you have an option to either run the full half (13.1 miles) or split it between two runners where one does 5 miles first and the other does the final 8 mile leg. I was lucky enough to be blessed with an extra bib and did the 5 mile first part. There was no way I would have been able to do any more than that since I did the BK Half the day before and my legs were screaming by the time I reached the finish line. There's music, festivities, families and plenty of nourishment after you sweat it out and even an award ceremony for the top finishers. The medals everyone receives are cute and most runners are in costume the entire time, dressed as their favourite superheroes/villains. At the end, they also award the best costume and I believe this year was a gentleman that came as Doc Oc from Spiderman. I had a great time. It's about an hour drive from NYC and I would suggest going with a group, getting there early and enjoying the whole experience from start to finish.

    Ran the 2012 Superhero Half Marathon on May 16th and I had a blast. The course is challenging, but…read morefun. The two loops begin in Ginty Field in Morristown, cut through some neighborhoods and take you through the paved trails of Loantanka Park. Although it was warm (hit the 80s) a good portion of the run was shaded providing some much needed relief from the sun. Even if you do not like the course, the people running near you dressed head to toe in costumes is enough amusement for the 13.1 miles. There is nothing like get passed by a grown man in a Kickass costume. Here are my suggestions: -Carry water. Water stops were every 2 miles or so with Gatorade available at every other stop. I froze half my water bottle the night before and topped it off with cold water in the morning. This was key to cooling me down and keeping me hydrated as I ran. I also took advantage of most of the water stops. -Dress up. If you have family coming to watch you (especially small kids) have them dress up too. This is something I didn't do, but wished I had. Next year I am definitely running in costume and making sure all my family and friends are dressed in costume as well. -Train on hills. This course was TOUGH and had a hill that didn't seem so bad when you are only 3-4 miles in, however coming back around for the second loop around mile 11 was hard. I would definitely recommend some hill training for this. If you live in the Morristown area it shouldn't be a problem to find some killer hills to run on. -Get there early. I got to the start about an hour before and was able to find street parking not even 2 blocks away. It was extremely convenient and stress free. As you can probably tell, I loved this race and can't wait to run it again next year.

    Superhero Half Marathon - Not my normal pace but exceptional, IMO, considering I did the BK half (my 1st ever half) the day before. Hurt.

    I'm not a runner…read more No. I'm one of those people who wear fancy workout clothes and get out of breath after a minute of "running". So why did I sign up for this? I wanted a fancy medal! Of course, the one year that I signed up for this, they decided NOT to give out medals and to give out tech T-shirts instead. I guess I'll wear my tech tshirt instead of a medal while training for my next race. It was pretty cool running past the unisphere, museum, fountain (which did not run this year -- what, are they getting cheap with water too?!). Mile 1. This is good. I'm gonna keep running. Yeah. I'm almost at mile 2. Mile 2. Okay I did a mile. I'm gonna slow down a bit. Yeah. Mile 3. Why did I sign up for this again? Oh right, the medal. Yes. I've done 5Ks before, I can do this. Mile 4. LALALALALALALALALALALA Mile 5. Wait. Am I done with mile 5 or did I just start it? Where am I? I'm so confused. HEY THEY'RE PLAYING MY JAM!!! (Backstreet boys) Mile 6. I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE!!!! Where the heck is the finish line?!?!?!? Oh... 10K is 6.2 miles... WHY IS THIS 0.2 MILES SO LONG!!!!!! Finish line. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm not doing this again. ........Who am I kidding, I'll sign up again next year.

    This is a good race in an under-appreciated NYC park. The 2013 race was a lot of fun and the…read moretemperature was even a little cooler this year. I even turned in my fastest competitive 10K time, ever. One of the downsides is the ever increasing overcrowding issue that plagues these runs. It's a little annoying to be bumped into by many people. Give me some space, man. Another issue (my take) is not having the first water station right after the 1 mile marker. I think this should be a must, especially during what is probably the hottest run of the year. But overall, I like this fast and mostly flat run. Glad I ran it today and did well.
