The JSRC Triple Crown Race Series kicks off at 10:00 AM, giving travelers a reasonable window for early-morning arrival without requiring a pre-dawn start. Held on January 1st in the Shrewsbury, New Jersey area, this running series spans three venues: Lake-Como, Middletown, and Deal. The New Year's Day timing makes this an accessible choice for runners looking to start 2026 with competition rather than waiting weeks into January. Athletes traveling to the region should plan accordingly for holiday traffic patterns on New Year's Day, as course access may be affected by post-celebration congestion. The multi-venue format means you'll want to confirm which specific location works best for your schedule and accommodations in the greater Jersey Shore region.
