Semi marathon de la Saint Valentin de Jersey City

Jersey City Valentine Half Marathon is a road event held in Jersey City, New Jersey, on February 7, 2027. Three distances are offered: the half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). The course covers the urban setting of Jersey City, directly across the water from New York. Start times and elevation gain are not listed.

February halves are good early-season targets: the training happens over winter, and the result tells you what your spring is worth. Give yourself 12 weeks with one long run per week building to 11 miles, one session at goal pace, and the rest easy. Runners stepping up from the 10K will find the jump manageable if they add distance gradually rather than intensity. On a flat urban course, the discipline is pacing the opening two miles conservatively; the crowded, fast start is where most half marathons are lost.
