*Update for 2025*
Due to upcoming construction projects on Sandy Hook in 2025, National Park Service has requested we use a modified course from previous years. There will also be a cap on attendance at 700 participants and a start time of 8:00 AM. Rather than set time periods for Early Bird pricing, this year the price increase will be based on ticket allotment quantities.
The 10th Annual Run The Hook is a 5K/10K race at Sandy Hook National Park, NJ in support of local non-profit Clean Ocean Action. All runners receive a commemorative pint glass as they cross the finish line in addition to a t-shirt, closed course on Sandy Hook National Park, and chip timed results.
A portion of proceeds from the race go directly to the organization so they can continue to work to improve the quality of our local bodies of water and protect them from pollution and industrialization. The race is fittingly situated on a less than 1 mile wide peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Sandy Hook Bay giving runners an opportunity to run in a truly unique and natural setting.
Run The Hook is proud to be a single-use plastic free event as part of our mission to rid the beaches and oceans of plastic litter and pollution.
Picking up your shirt and bib in advance is highly encouraged! Save time on race day and help us get everyone checked in faster.
Same Day Pickup: Sunday 5/11 7:30 AM at Lot I, Sandy Hook, NJ
Where can I find my bib number?
We will be assigning bib numbers at check in this year. Just bring your QR code from this email. Your QR code will be scanned, then we will scan the bib, and you will be on your way.
Can I pick up for other people?
If you are picking up for other runners, please have their QR codes as well. Preferably as screenshots in order in your photo library to speed up the process. PLEASE be sure to mark the names on the bibs so they are not mixed up. Running with someone else's bib will create problems for the timer. If you mix up the bibs, the numbers can be found on the registration page under FIND A PARTICIPANT.
Can I switch to a different race?
Yes, you can switch between races, but MUST do so before checking in and receiving your bib. Please follow instructions here.
Can I transfer my registration to another runner?
Yes, you can transfer to another runner, but MUST do so before the new runner checks in and receives their bib. Please follow instructions here.
