Circle BMW, one of the region’s leading BMW dealerships, today announced that they are the official automobile sponsor of the New Jersey Marathon Festival set to take place in Long Branch, N.J. April 29, 2010 through May 2, 2010. Hosted by the New Jersey Road Runners Club and the City of Long Branch, the 14th Annual New Jersey Marathon Festival is a four day event that includes a Chef’s Challenge, exposition, family fun races, marathon, half marathon and team relay.

NJ Marathon Race Director and President of the NJ Road Runners Club, Art Castellano, said, “We are expecting more than 10,000 athletes to participate in the various races and activities throughout the weekend. An event of this magnitude requires support from so many individuals and organizations and we are fortunate to have numerous corporate sponsors such as Circle BMW to help ensure success.”

A U.S.A. Track & Field-certified course, the NJ Marathon begins and ends on the Long Branch oceanfront promenade, just north of Pier Village and the Ocean Place Resort & Spa. The course turns inland just past the one mile mark and tours through the Jersey Shore towns of Long Branch, Monmouth Beach and Oceanport. Runners will travel through eight distinct neighborhoods and four business districts.

Circle BMW President, Tom DeFelice, said, “Circle BMW is proud to support the NJ Marathon Festival, the NJ Road Runners Club and the City of Long Branch. An event this size promotes Monmouth County, generates excitement and has a lasting positive impact on our community.”

The weekend of events will benefit many local children’s charities and World Hepatitis Awareness in partnership with Bosco’s Buddies, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of hepatitis C and liver disease.

Runners (and walkers) are encouraged to raise funds for charitable organizations while participating in one of the NJ Marathon events.
