Frog Hollow announces five-mile road race

Frog Hollow Swim and Tennis Club, located on Ferris Street in South Amboy, will hold its annual road race on Sept. 9.

A portion of the proceeds to benefit the city’s first responder organizations.

The race originated as a five-mile trek through the rolling hills of South Amboy and was famous for the dreaded Feltus Street hill. In recent years, however, the run was cut back to a flat, fast 5K race predominantly through Waterfront Park.

This year, the Frog Hollow Board of Governors voted to bring the race back to its original glory as a five-mile road race and a one-mile kids fun run.

The five-mile race entry fee is $25 in advance and $30 at the gate.  The kids fun run is free.

Race-day registration will open at 6:30 a.m. at the club, with the five-mile race beginning at 8 a.m. and the kids fun run starting at 9 a.m.

All registered five-mile runners will have the opportunity to use the pool facilities for the day and can bring guests for a cost of $10 per person.

Online registration is available at register.compuscore.com/froghollow. Sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Stacey Kennedy at 732-757-9816.
