Shore A.C.’s History
“The Shore A.C.'s official birth year is 1934. In 1964, the new Shore A.C. was born and we've been doing so many great new things ever since. We have over 500 members. Most live in New Jersey but quite a
few reside far beyond NJ. And some quite far beyond. In addition to competing in all these events, the club itself puts on an incredible array of events
for all to take part in and enjoy to the utmost.”
Our mission: to develop youth and junior long distance runners and track & field athletes, activate the human spirit by providing competitive events
for all ages and groups, and promote long distance running and track and field as lifetime sports.
