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.<br /><br />Our courses are on open paths so please be considerate of other park users!<br /><br /><strong>On-Course Support</strong><br />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<br /><br /><span style="font-size:18pt"><strong>Final Details</strong></span><br /><strong>Bib: </strong>Please wear your race bib on the front of your shirt so we can track your time and send your pics!<br /><strong>Gear Check: </strong>You may leave personal items with staff at the registration tent.
