THE SHORE ATHLETIC CLUB is one of New Jersey's, and America's. most diverse and
inclusive organizations dedicated to all the specialties within the great
sport of track and field.
The Shore AC is truly a club for all athletes and all seasons. We field
"varsity" and local men's and women's teams competing in every
event within the sport, and on every level, youth to juniors to
"open" to Sub-Masters and Masters.
We are dedicated to the vision of track and field as a wonderful
"lifetime sport". We do every event there is to do, meaning
everything from the sprints to the middle distances to the marathons and even
ultra-marathons; the hurdles, all the jumping events, all the throwing
events, all the multi-events; racewalking and cross country and relay racing
and road running. Some of our Shore AC folks have done all this at the
highest level - our members have been Olympians, World Champions, National
Champions, and a lot more.
The Shore AC's official birth year is 1934. The club went through its
earlier eras of the 30s and 40s – marked by some incredible feats - began
anew in the late 40s and endured to the early 50s. In 1964, the
"new" Shore AC 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. And we cap each year with a wonderful awards banquet
each January.
At last count, Shore AC was scheduled to put on at least 75 events in the
2002 calendar year. All of these - and the administrative work of the
club - get done with through the team efforts of an amazing group of
volunteers and good friends. Whatever your goals in the sport, whatever your
level of participation, we extend a cordial invitation!!!
This website is a project in continuous construction. Updates are posted on a
regular basis. Enjoy! Take Part! Just Do It! (And help others
Just Do It - as a volunteer at any of our events - as often as you
wish. Consider this an open invitation!!)
Cheers to one and all!!!
