The event is a fundraiser for the volunteer squad, also known locally as "Point Beach EMS" which serves Point Pleasant Beach, Bay Head and Mantoloking and also provides supplemental assistance in Point Borough and other neighboring towns.
The run begins on the Point Beach boardwalk by Jenkinson's Aquarium, runs north to the Manasquan Inlet, then south through town and ends at the start, according to the squad. The route is on the map (see attached PDF).
