Device Explodes at Marine Race on Jersey Shore
A device exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey, Saturday morning as about 5,000 runners were set to participate in a 5k Marine charity race, authorities said.
The explosive device went off in a garbage can on D Street and Ocean Avenue at about 9:30 a.m. along the race route, police said.
The third annual Marine Semper Fi 5k race to benefit the MARSOC Foundation was expected to start at about 9 a.m., but was delayed because of late sign-ins, authorities said.
The race was canceled after the explosion.
