By: The New Jersey Marathon Pearlman also won The New Jersey Marathon in 2008 and in 2011, when he set the course mark of 2:28:19. The New Jersey Marathon course wound its way through eight New Jersey shore towns in all, including the start at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, to Monmouth Beach, Deal, Allenhurst, Lock Arbour, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and the finish along the Long Branch Promenade. The Long Branch Half Marathon men's winner was Ryan Johns, 25, of Princeton, with a time of 1:09:43, edging two-time champion Craig Segal, 29, of Highlands, by under a minute. Johns also won the race in 2010. Erin Reddan, 25, of New York, took the women's race at 1:23:17, more than three minutes ahead of the field. Last year's half marathon winner and 2011 Marathon champion Bronawyn O'Leary, 37, of Cliffwood Beach, took fourth in the half today. The men's and women's wheel divisions were won by Mike Luciano, 29, of Edison, N.J., (1:32:19) and Lois Hamilton, 63, of Oak Ridge, N.J. (2:11:01), respectively. “I had a tough mile 13 when I felt a pain in my side,” said Pearlman, who has won The New Jersey Marathon all three times in which he has competed in the event. “But I ran through it and it was such a perfect day on a perfect course.” Echoing the sentiment of many, Pearlman added, “I also ran to support the shore and shore businesses, and to support the race.” “There was some wind and some changes on the course,” said Drews, who finished second in last year's race. “But it felt similar to the past.” The event's theme was “Up and Running,” highlighting the region's recovery from Superstorm Sandy in October, and which found additional meaning in the tragic events at the Boston Marathon a month ago. Many also participated on behalf of dozens of charities throughout the state and the country, raising thousands of dollars.
