Shore Athletic Club

THE SHORE ATHLETIC CLUB

Our History

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. In addition to competing in major events, the club itself puts on an incredible array of events for all to take part in and enjoy to the utmost. Shore A.C. hosts four signature events a year – NJ International T&F Meet, Big Bang Mile, Asbury Park Sheehan Classic and the Jersey Shore Half Marathon. Additionally, Shore A.C. supports training athletes to compete in certified youth, open and masters USATF events and Long Distance Races nationally and internationally through-out the year. They have a competitive and strong presence at the Millrose Games, Penn Relays, and National & State USATF championship events. Shore A.C. proudly sent a handful of athletes to the 2021 Olympic Trials!!

Mission Statement:
“To develop junior and youth, men’s and women’s open and masters track and field athletes, distance and cross-country runners and racewalkers. We strive to activate the human spirit by providing competitive events for all ages and groups, and to promote the entire sport, in all its categories as lifetime activities."

Annual Schedule

Upcoming Club Events

The 36th annual New Jersey International Track and Field Meet, this year honoring meet director emeritus and founder, Elliott Denman, will be staged Saturday, June 17, at the great, fast Joe Compagni Track at Kessler Stadium on the Monmouth University campus in West Long Branch, NJ. Born in 1987, the meet has attracted numerous greats of the sport. We again plan to make it a major event and a "special occasion" in the sport. The meet schedule will again include Elite, Open, Masters and Youth events, men and women. Entries are now open on Directathletics.com and will be open through mid-day June 15. Also on the June 17 meet schedule will be a Community Mile, where entrants may run, jog, walk or stroll at the pace of their choice. Proceeds will benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network as well as the Shore Athletic Club Development Fund, promoting year-round competition – all events, all ages, all levels.
