Frog Hollow announces five-mile road race

Participants make their way along the course during the Asbury Park George Sheehan Classic 5K held in Asbury Park on August 13.

Frog Hollow Swim and Tennis Club, located on Ferris Street in South Amboy, will hold its annual road race on Sept. 9.

A portion of the proceeds to benefit the city’s first responder organizations.

The race originated as a five-mile trek through the rolling hills of South Amboy and was famous for the dreaded Feltus Street hill. In recent years, however, the run was cut back to a flat, fast 5K race predominantly through Waterfront Park.

This year, the Frog Hollow Board of Governors voted to bring the race back to its original glory as a five-mile road race and a one-mile kids fun run.

The five-mile race entry fee is $25 in advance and $30 at the gate.  The kids fun run is free.

Race-day registration will open at 6:30 a.m. at the club, with the five-mile race beginning at 8 a.m. and the kids fun run starting at 9 a.m.

All registered five-mile runners will have the opportunity to use the pool facilities for the day and can bring guests for a cost of $10 per person.

Online registration is available at register.compuscore.com/froghollow. Sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Stacey Kennedy at 732-757-9816.
