The Shore Athletic Club (Shore AC) was officially established in 1934. The club's early years in the 1930s and 1940s were marked by remarkable achievements. After a revival in the late 1940s, the club continued its journey into the early 1950s. In 1964, a new era began for Shore AC, and we have since accomplished many great things. Our membership has grown to over 500 individuals.

In addition to competing in major events, Shore AC organizes a fantastic variety of events for everyone to participate in and enjoy. We host four signature events each year: the NJ International Track & Field Meet, the Big Bang Mile, the Asbury Park Sheehan Classic, and the Jersey Shore Half Marathon. Furthermore, Shore AC is dedicated to training athletes to compete in certified youth, open, and masters USATF events, as well as long-distance races, both nationally and internationally throughout the year. 

We maintain a strong, competitive presence at prestigious events such as the Millrose Games, the Penn Relays, and various USATF National and State Championship events. Notably, Shore AC proudly sent several athletes to the 2021 Olympic Trials!

The club's Mission Statement is “to develop junior and youth athletes, as well as men’s and women’s open and masters track and field athletes, distance and cross country runners, and racewalkers. We strive to activate the human spirit by providing competitive events for all ages and groups, and to promote the entire sport in all its forms as a lifelong activity.”
