More about the Course
The race routes go across the grass, under the road through a tunnel, and enter the park. The 5k loops the lake and returns. The 10k and half head to the other side of the park, going under the bridge, and then journey back along a different path.
Our courses are on open paths so please be considerate of other park users!
On-Course Support
Multiple water stations are located along the routes. The finish line will also have an aid station stocked with water, electrolytes, and other snacks. We have a first aid kit at each station and all High Tides Crew Members have received CPR training. The turns are clearly marked with chalk and runner turn signs
Final Details
Bib: Please wear your race bib on the front of your shirt so we can track your time and send your pics!
