Stingers Race Team
The Ocean Avenue Mile
We’ve Gone Mobile!
They say that the world is going mobile and frankly, we believe it! I am not exactly sure who “they” are, but it is important to us to stay on the cutting edge, or as close to it, of current technology. We are working diligently to provide a great race experience! If you have your mobile media consumption device, take it out and type into the browser OceanAvenueMile.com and let us know your thoughts.
We also believe that the race experience involves everything leading up to the day of the event and the follow-up to the event. Putting this race, or series of races together is similar to a training program. Regardless of the event you are training for, whether it is a 5k, Marathon, Sprint Triathlon, IronMan and of course The MILE, it can take weeks, months and even years to perform your best. We have been in preparation for the past several months and that would be like our base training. We have been getting all the necessary components together in order to hit our peak training program where we are ramping up the time we are spending working out the finer details and this includes, working with our sponsors, the police, parking, bathrooms, timing, awards and everything other moving part that is going to make this Ocean Avenue Mile an EVENT!
We hope you share our enthusiasm and are prepared to train hard, run your race and hang out with us at our post race festivities and party! Be prepared to watch the 4 Minute barrier because there are some speed demons coming out to put on a show!

Last week, we announced that we would be holding a practice event on the Ocean Avenue Mile Race course, except we have had an unexpected change to the calendar. Although we will have a practice mile event on the Ocean Avenue Mile Race course, we have something even more exciting!
On June 10, 2012 the Garden State Track Club will be hosting a Mile Road Race in New Brunswick, NJ. We want to encourage all participants of the Ocean Avenue Mile to come out and race! How great would it be to have an actual race time to go up against in September? You can come out and run a Race and then set some goals. If you want help setting those goals, We would be happy to help you and along with that we could set you up with a training program to run your best mile ever!
The College Ave Mile is not only our sister race, but part of the beginning of the best races in the State and even the Country!

I can’t believe that the New Jersey Marathon is less than two weeks away! In my opinion, the marathon is the kickoff to a great season of road running races here at the Jersey Shore. We have the grand prix including the Spring Lake 5, George Sheehan Classic, Belmar 5, War at The Shore and many other great races in and around the area. This year, we hope to help this out by adding our great Ocean Avenue Mile to the list!
We are developing and creating and registration is growing everyday. Although its slow, we are confident that we will sell out! If you have not registered yet, please get on it as we only have a limited supply of $25 Gift Certificates left to The Sneaker Factory.
