It’s expected to be hot and steamy in Harvey Cedars on Sunday, Aug. 20. Such conditions will be fitting, as the Dog Day Road Race will be contested for the 44th time.

The High Point Volunteer Fire Co,’s annual 5-mile trek through the borough, won by Beach Haven’s Max Manganiello in just under 27 minutes last summer, again will be contested rain or shine, and the siren to start it again will wail at exactly 9:30 a.m.
