Neptune’s 8K Race

Get ready to hit the pavement at Neptune’s 8K Race, a time-honored tradition with breathtaking ocean views and a super friendly vibe for beginners and seasoned runners alike.

When you cross the finish line, not only will you feel the runner’s high, but you’ll also be decked out with some swanky swag—a Neptune Festival T-Shirt, a shiny finisher medal, and you’ll even score a ticket to the awe-inspiring International Sandsculpting Championship!

But wait, there’s more! You’ll wrap up your race with a bang at our Post Race Party; imagine chilling in 31st Street Park, munching on pizza, sipping beer or seltzer (we've got the non-alcoholic kind too), all while grooving to the DJ’s beats. And don't forget, the fun continues with Boardwalk Weekend's smorgasbord of events—from free concerts and yoga to family fun zones. Trust us, it's the place to be!
