Beginning near the zoo in Cape May Courthouse, the Middle Township Bike Path continues south for about 6 miles towards Rio Grande. The long paved path is more of a commuter route than a destination, but it’s a nice green space down the center of Cape May. If you stick towards the zoo end of the path, you can tack on a 5k cross country route through the zoo grounds — a great choice if you need a shaded route in summer.

The homes of Cape May are considered one of the largest collections of 19th century architecture in the country. They're all in a compact area, so we've designed a neat 2-mile run on the best 'Victorian' streets. Combibe with Beach Ave. for more mileage and architecture.
This route traces the wide shoulders of Sunset Boulevard out to Sunset Beach, and then a jaunt down Lighthouse Ave around Cape May Point, home to the scenic Cape May Lighthouse. Pleasant, quiet, scenic.
For a taste of pristine Cape May, set away from the boardwalk crowds, set out for a short (up to 3.3 mile) loop on the trails and boardwalks of Cape May Point State Park.
A classic Jersey Shore boardwalk, and a treat for running. The concrete and wood boardwalk follows the coast 3+ miles from near Wildwood Crest to North Wildwood. Good ocean views and festive atmosphere. Wildwood Beach, at 4+ miles, is also great for running.
The Cold Spring Bike Path is a 2.75 mile paved route which spans from Seashore Road in Erma to Sandman Boulevard in Cape May. Solid inland route, offering good shade on a hot day. A favorite day trip for visiting runners is to run to the Cape May Winery.
