Overview

At High Tide Runs, we’re not just an event – we’re a movement, a community of runners bound by the love of the run and the serenity of the sea. Whether you’re a seasoned speedster chasing personal records or a mom with a stroller seeking a family-friendly outing, our races are tailored for you.

Why settle for the norm when you can have an extraordinary experience at a fraction of the cost? We’re not about the glitz and glamor of extravagant events; we’re about substance and connection. Our mission is to make running accessible to everyone, to celebrate the journey rather than the spectacle

But why stop there? As you embrace the thrill of the tides, make a splash on your calendar. Complete 10 or more events within a single year, and an exceptional, limited-edition HTR shirt will be yours – a badge of honor that signifies your incredible dedication.

And for the truly unstoppable souls who conquer 15 or more events in a year, the rewards are even grander. Your entry to another event becomes a gift from us to you – a testament to your endurance and commitment.

It’s not just about running; it’s about running smarter

Who’s invited to our events? Everyone!

High Tide Runs embraces a true spirit of inclusion. Our races are a tapestry of individuals, woven together by their passion for movement. Age, speed, and experience matter not – if you’re eager to be part of the journey, you’re already one of us.

Course Description

About our Courses:
We embrace an open-course philosophy, inviting a vibrant tapestry of fellow runners, walkers, and enthusiasts to share the day’s experience with you. Safety is paramount, and we kindly request all runners to remain on the designated pedestrian side of the beach path. The course elegantly follows the beach path without deviation, assuring you a seamless journey. We have thoughtfully placed two water stations on the course, providing water and Gatorade.
Course Specifics:
The 5K and 10K races share the same course. The turnaround is located at mile 1.55, marked with a runner turn sign, a large orange flag, and chalk.. The 5K race follows a single out-and-back lap, while the 10K race involves two out-and-back laps.

How are our races timed?
All events are gun-timed. We start the clock when the horn sounds and record your time as you cross the finish line. Your bib must be worn on the front of your body at all times.
What you get:
Every participant, without exception, will proudly claim a finisher’s medal, a symbol of your triumph etched in metal. As you cross that finish line, a treasure trove of finish-line goodies will be yours to savor, a delightful celebration of your accomplishment.
Capture the moment forever with our gift of free downloadable race photos, typically posted within 24 hours of the event. Curious about your performance? Fear not, as race results will be meticulously tabulated and promptly posted on our website within 10 hours of the race’s conclusion.
Refunds and Deferrals, Simplified:
We apologize, but we do not offer refunds. However, you may transfer to another High Tides Event 48 before the event.
