Organiser's Description
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.
Join us for the joy of Christmas in July. Come out and get festive with Santa. Santa will be taking a break from his vacation by joining us after the run for fun photos.
