Details
Known among running enthusiasts as a great preparation &
training run for the New York City Marathon held each November, the
Newport-Liberty Waterfront Run offers a mostly flat and fast race
through the streets of Jersey City with plentiful views of the Statue
of Liberty, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, lower Manhattan and Ellis
Island.
The race’s starting and finish lines are at
Newport-on-the-Waterfront Park, part of a 600-acre live-work-play
community of high rises, restaurants, commercial buildings and
nightspots on Jersey City’s waterfront, just across the
Hudson River from New York. The 13.1-mile course for the race takes
runners through city sights including Liberty State Park, Green Park,
the Harborside Financial Center, and the Newport Town Square.
