Registration for all three races is now open online.

The 30th annual OCNJ Labor Day Race is a 5-mile beach run that begins and ends at 23rd Street. There's also a one-mile walk/run on the beach.

The half marathon winds its way through all parts of Ocean City, including the downtown area and the Ocean City-Longport Bridge, before finishing on the Ocean City boardwalk. Registration for the half marathon is $60 through July 31, $70 through Sept. 21 and $80 through Sept. 25.

Those who don't wish to run the 13.1 miles can still take part in races that day. A 5K run and a 10-mile, non-competitive walk/run is being offered.

The Trail of Two Cities 5K Run/Walk takes participants over the Route 52 causeway between Ocean City and Somers Point. Buses will be available between the two points to transport runners before and after the race.
