**A new study by Men’s Health names Jersey City as the 4th least cancer-prone city in the U.S. They attribute it to a few reasons, one of which is the Partnership for a Healthier New Jersey, a program which aims to make Jersey City more pedestrian and bike friendly. Taking the top spots were three California cities — San Francisco, San Jose, and Stockton. —Men’s Health

**Speaking of health — reminder for all runners: The Newport Half Marathon is roughly three weeks away. (Sunday, September 17 to be exact). Registration is currently $50/pp and will rise to $55/pp after September 12. —Newport Half
