The veteran runner from Philadelphia plotted her own path around all of Ocean City, with help her husband, Ian.
“I started at the end of the boardwalk on 23rd Street and started running north,” she said. “(I) ran the length of the boardwalk and then switched off and got in the sand. Ran all the way around that edge of the island under the Longport Bridge, then jumped back on the roads.
“At that point, it gets super windy because you’re kind of going in and out of all the streets along the bay.”
Still, she said it was a great experience, and she’s encouraging others in the running community to consider creating similar routes.
“A lot of runners who have had races canceled are looking for new challenges, whether it be distance or a perimeter run or running every street,” she said. “So, get out there and try.”
