The device went off around 9:30 a.m. in Seaside Park, N.J., according to the Ocean County sheriff, Mike Mastronardi. There were no injuries, and officials do not believe that anyone was on the course at the time of the explosion, the sheriff said. The race, the Seaside Semper Five, a five-kilometer run and walk near the boardwalk and waterfront, was canceled. The charity event raises money for members of the United States Marine Corps and their families. Investigators from the New Jersey State Police, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were on the scene.
