(this post is tl;dr. bottom line: we're going virtual)
The details:
This was my view of the finish line after running the 5k course by myself this weekend. No timer, no finish banner, no spectators cheering (no bagels or yogurt!), just me. And I realized that is what this racing season is going to look like. So like everyone else, the Union Beach 5k is going virtual, or remote, or whatever you call it when you run a "race" on your own.
How it will work:
Race day is still June 27, but feel free to run your 5k any time that week. Registration closes at midnight on June 25th. Instructions to self-score will be sent to registered participants. First 200 participants to register will get race swag. Drive through, contactless pick up on June 25 and 26th will be announced shortly. If you registered prior to this announcement (before 5/18) look for an email from us detailing your special options.
Awards:
The overall top 3 male and female finishers and the top male and female Union Beach runners will get a refund of their registration fee!

The forecast looks great for a race today but unfortunately the virus cancelled our event. We encourage everyone to safely get outside and enjoy this nice day.
As a reminder, please update your registration fee preference for the cancellation as soon as possible. This will allow RunSignUp to issue refunds to those that requested them in a timely manner.
We look forward to next year. ... See MoreSee Less

Due to COVID-19, The Spring Into Summer 5k has been cancelled for this year. The safety and wellbeing of our participants and community is our number one concern. At this time, we are unable to reschedule the event for a later date this year. We look forward to next year.
With this cancellation, the first annual Triple Crown Event in conjunction with the Union Beach 5k and the Keyport 5k is also cancelled for this year.
