The Jersey City Marathon & Half Marathon returns for its 5th annual running as a USA Track & Field-sanctioned, Boston Marathon-qualifying event on one of the fastest and flattest certified courses in the country, winding through downtown Jersey City with views of the New York City skyline. Expected attendance reaches 25,000, with average turnout of 10,000. The field skews male, 60% to 40%, and millennial, fitness-and-wellness focused, backed by a social following near 6,600, with a two-day Health & Fitness Expo at the Westin Hotel extending engagement beyond race day. The expo and race-weekend format give sponsors extended touchpoints with a qualifying-caliber running audience, from expo booths to course branding, all set against a skyline that makes the event a natural draw for regional and national brands alike.
