After being knocked off the board by weather in 2019 and relegated to a “virtual” format last year, the Long Beach Island Commemorative 18 Mile Run was back in action for its 49th iteration on Oct. 10.

And while nobody among the 321 finishers managed to break former Rutgers track star Bill Seiben’s course record of 1:32:32, set in 1979, Middletown’s Sean Donohue wasn’t far off and posted the fastest winning time since 2015.
