Santa's Summer Stride - Christmas in July 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon

🎉 Event 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.

🌟 Experience the Extraordinary

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