55th Annual Asbury Park Polar Bear Races

Asbury Park Convention Hall

1300 Ocean Ave.
Asbury Park, NJ 07712

Founded 54 years ago by Shore A.C., Polar Bear, the club's longest-standing and most legendary race, has never been rescheduled due to inclement weather. Even after dealing with the devastating effects left by Superstorm Sandy, Shore A.C. organizers proudly kept the annual event up and running. Rest assured, the job always gets done! Rain, snow, or sunshine, the 10 mile race-walk begins at 10:00 AM, and the 5K race begins at 1:00 PM. For the 5K only: awards will be given to the overall top 3 male and female finishers and the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group. The first 500 entrants will receive a complimentary T-shirt and completion medal, and all race-walkers will receive a T-shirt. At the conclusion of the 5K run, participants and spectators may enjoy hot soup generously provided by The Robinson Ale House!
