Ken Forde Park

Kids 2k, 5k, or 11k

Register for the Tideline Classic

All three distances will start and finish at Ken Forde Park and have zero elevation gain. Participants will leave the start line in small groups or waves, to reduce congestion. There will be course markings but no dedicated race lane on the sidewalks and Seawalk. Participants are expected to be respectful of members of the public using the Seawalk during the race.

 

In its inaugural year, the Tideline Classic will be celebrating the grand opening of Foundation Rehab’s new location across from Ken Forde Park.

WITHDRAWAL FROM RACE If you have started the race and determine you cannot complete the course for any reason, you must notify one of the Tideline Classic Course Marshals, the Timing Team at the finish line or the Race Director.

Medical staff and Race Directors have the authority to remove any racer if they deem it unsafe for the runner to continue.
