The Shore AC Has Chosen Perceev to Provide an Engaging App Experience for Three of it's Top Events in 2024

Belford, NJ/Carlsbad, CA (July 10, 2024) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Perceev, an innovative new software as a service platform for endurance races, is excited to announce its partnership with The Shore Athletic Club of New Jersey.

The Shore A.C., New Jersey’s oldest and most established running club, will use the Perceev platform to provide an engaging app experience for three of its major events this year – the Big Bang Mile, Sheehan Classic 5K, and Jersey Shore Half Marathon and 2 Mile.

The Big Bang Mile will take place on Saturday July 13, at the Bell Works complex in Holmdel. Now in its fourth year, the Big Bang Mile features a flat, fast 1 mile road course certified for both USATF and World Athletics records. The event includes nine heats of the mile, with family friendly events like the Mary and John Saarmann Community and Youth (12 and under) Mile. The races provide opportunities for all ages and abilities, one of the traditional signatures of Shore A.C. events. This year’s race will also serve as the USATF-NJ Open Road Mile Championships for men and women.

The Sheehan Classic 5K, scheduled for Saturday August 10 in Asbury Park, is one of the biggest and fastest events at the NJ Shore each summer. The race honors the late Dr. George Sheehan, “The Running Doctor,” and is held on a flat USATF certified two-loop course with a finish on the famous Asbury Park Boardwalk. Over $1200 in prize money will be awarded to the top five men and women this year. Custom tie-dye shirts are available to the first 1,100 entrants.

The Jersey Shore Half Marathon and 2 Mile will take place on Sunday, September 29, on Sandy Hook, a National Recreation Area with views of Manhattan and the Jersey Shore. Last year’s field was one of the largest in the history of the event, which now dates back more than 50 years. The 13.1 route is a USATF-certified, flat, two loop course that is used by first-timers as well as those looking for a fall marathon tune-up race. The 2 mile is a flat out and back alternative for those looking for a shorter run. The charity partner for this event is the Sandy Hook Foundation, which works to protect, preserve and enhance the area’s natural beauty.

“Our race committees work hard to provide race participants of all ages and abilities with fun events and positive race day experiences,” said Erin O’Neill, Shore A.C. President. “Perceev provides those running and those watching with a great tool to ensure everyone is engaged and doesn’t miss a thing. The features in the app provide participants and fans with valuable and enjoyable information they can use before, during and after the races.”

The Perceev platform allows races of all sizes and budgets to offer their participants a premium digital experience on race day. The app is free for athletes and fans and provides all the race day information they need in one convenient location, ensuring everyone can easily make the most of the event. When participants follow the race on Perceev, they will receive important race information directly from the event through push notifications. Other engaging features include leaderboards, results, maps, an in-app camera with custom race stickers for social media sharing, next day replay and more.

“The Shore A.C. is an iconic running club and we are proud to partner with them to provide an improved race day experience for their great New Jersey races,” Ed Hoffman, Founder and CEO said. “They are passionate about providing the best events possible for their runners and we are thrilled they chose Perceev as the newest technology to improve engagement.”

“We are huge fans of everything Shore AC does to promote road racing, cross country and track and field, and to promote them as lifetime sports that are a valuable part of a fun and healthy lifestyle,” said Rebecca Hoffman, co-founder of Perceev. “Perceev was designed to support organizations like this and grow sports through improved engagement and visibility.”
