Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultramarathon & Team Relay Results

 CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS!

Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultramarathon & Team Relay - Saturday, 2/28/09

The World's Longest Beach Run - 35 Miles on the Beach from Atlantic Beach to the Jetty at the St Augustine Inlet.

If you or your support crew have digital photos, please email them to us and we will post some of them on this page with the results below.

Weather was sunny and partly cloudy, with a wind that came from the south early in the race. The conditions on the beach were good at the start in Atlantic Beach; the race began near high tide so that participants would be able to enjoy lower tide conditions toward the final hours of the race. The J2J race started at 9:07am, with a beach surface was relatively flat even from the beginning. While beach surface conditions were improving during the day, the beach, as always, provided varying challenges throughout the race. As is normal, winter storms had changed portions of the beach, leaving some areas flatter than usual and some with more cocina shells.  

In this fourth year that included relay teams, runners on teams won the first two finishing positions, showing the strength of teamwork in this long distance race. Times for some teams and individual runners showed faster times this year, in spite of the headwind. Team Brew Crew improved over last year's time by almost five minutes! After trading the lead during parts of the first half of the race, Team Brew Crew headed to a first place finish in 4:16:00. Running steadily from start to finish, Andy Nicol came from Vancouver, BC, Canada to be the first solo runner to finish, in a time of 4:53:05 -- once again, a finish about 38 minutes faster than last year's solo first place. Loretta Haycook and Lesley Seaton ran together all the way to tie for the first solo woman runner to finish, in a time of 6:39:25, followed by Maureen O'Sullivan in 7:03:11.

For the second time, a BIKE Division was included in  J2J, with six cyclists at the starting line. This year, the 35 miles of beach was so challenging on a bike that two of the female cyclists decided to drop out at about the halfway point at Mickler's Landing. Even by the first checkpoint, some of the Teams were ahead of some of the bikes in the cyclo-cross type conditions, in which the riders spent some of their time pushing their bikes when they encountered soft sections on the beach. At other times, they were rolling well, especially as the tide was getting lower throughout the day. After a challenging day in and out of the saddle, the Bike Division was won by Steve Szilagyi in 4:45:48, just ahead of Andy Stenson.  The first female bike finisher (ever) was Marykay Hall, who had actually led all the men at times.

Congratulations to all of the participants in our Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultra in 2009.

Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultramarathon & Team Relay - Saturday, 3/22/08

The World's Longest Beach Run - 35 Miles on the Beach from Atlantic Beach south to the Jetty at the St Augustine Inlet. Weather was cool and overcast, with a slight wind that came from the south by the end of the race. The conditions at the start were better than usual, though the race began near high tide. The J2J race started at 9:00am, close to high tide, yet the surface was relatively flat even from the beginning. While beach surface conditions were improving during the day, the beach, as always, provided varying challenges throughout the race. As is normal, winter storms had changed portions of the beach, leaving some flatter than usual and some with more cocina shells. Runners reported seeing many starfish, conch shells, sand dollars, and other unusual sea creatures all along the course. In some areas, erosion had eaten away at the dunes near some homes, leaving small "cliffs" from the water to the houses above. 

In this third year that included relay teams, runners on teams won the first five finishing positions, showing the strength of teamwork in this long distance race. Times for many teams and individual runners showed faster times in 2008, in spite of the slight headwind. Team Tenacious Turtles improved their own finish time by a whopping 12 minutes!  After leading for much of the first half of the race, Team Tenacious Turtles was passed by Team Brew Crew, who headed to a first place finish in 4:20:25, an improvement of about 10 minutes over last year's first finishers. Running steadily from start to finish, Chris Maples was the first solo runner to finish, in a time of 5:31:37 -- once again, a finish almost 10 minutes faster than last year's 5:40:10 solo first place. Lorna Brown was the first solo woman runner to finish, and was also third solo overall in a time of 6:11:10, followed by Loretta Haycook in 6:21:20, which is almost 10 minutes better than her fastest previous J2J.

For the first time, a BIKE Division was added to J2J, with three cyclists at the starting line. This year, the 35 miles of beach was so challenging on a bike that one of the cyclists decided to drop out at about the halfway point at Mickler's Landing. Even by the first checkpoint, some of the Teams were ahead of some of the bikes in the cyclo-cross type conditions, in which the riders spent some of their time pushing their bikes when they encountered soft sections on the beach. At other times, they were rolling well, especially as the tide was getting lower throughout the day. After a challenging day in and out of the saddle, the Bike Division was won by Andy Stenson, by about 20 minutes over his teammate, Clark Schaffer, who announced that he was already planning to return to take on the Jetty-2-Jetty Ultra in 2009.

Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultramarathon & Team Relay - Saturday, 1/20/07

The World's Longest Beach Run - 35 Miles on the Beach from Mayport Jetty south to the Jetty at the St Augustine Inlet. Weather was cold to cool for much of the day, with a wind from the north, aiding the runners all along the beach. The J2J race started at the rock jetty at the St Johns River at 9:07 am, soon after high tide. While beach surface conditions were improving during the day, the beach, as always, provided varying challenges throughout the race. Recent winter storms, as well as the after-effects of previous years' hurricanes, had caused the beach to have more angle than has been usual prior to 2005.

In this second year that included relay teams, runners on teams won the first four finishing positions, showing the strength of teamwork in this long distance race. After leading for much of the first 27 miles of the race, Team Tenacious Turtles and Team Sand Cats traded places, leading to an exciting first place finish for Team Sand Cats in 4:30:20.  Running steadily from start to finish, Bjoern Grass, from Lubbecke, Germany, was the first solo runner to finish, in a time of 5:40:10.

News and Photos: An article about the Performance Jetty-2-Jetty is in the Times-Union newspaper on Sunday, 1/21/07; it featured 15 photos of the race taken by Bob Mack, staff photographer. You can view some of the pictures at http://photos.jacksonville.com/mycapture/folder.asp?event=221312 .  There will be another article about the race on Wednesday, 1/24/07, in the Shorelines section of the Times-Union, with more photos from Maggie Fitzroy, a reporter for Shorelines. If you or your support crew have digital photos, please email them to us and we will post them on this page with the results below.

 Congratulations to all participants!!

Performance Jetty-2-Jetty Ultramarathon & Team Relay - 1/29/06

The World's Longest Beach Run - 35 Miles on the Beach from Mayport Jetty south to the Jetty at the St Augustine Inlet. Weather was mild for much of the day, though there was a steady wind from the south-southwest, slowing the runners all along the beach. While the race started soon after high tide, the beach provided good conditions for almost all of the race, with smooth and relatively flat surfaces for all but the first few miles. In the first year that included relay teams, the runners on teams won the first two finishing positions, but were challenged much of the way by Michael McVann who was the first solo finisher. Congratulations to all participants!!
