Tideline Classic

POLICY UPDATES
Published April 6, 2026

Policies may be updated at any time without notice. Any significant changes in the following policies that occur after registration will be communicated via email to participants.

REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS
We can provide full refunds for pregnancy with a doctor's note provided via email. We do not provide refunds, deferrals or credits for any other reason.

If the race is cancelled for an unforeseen reason beyond our control more than 30 days before the start, runners will be partially refunded the entry fees. The amount of the refund will be dependent on the irremediable expenses incurred as of the date of the cancellation. If a race is cancelled less than 30 days before the start or if the race in progress is interrupted, for any reason beyond our control, entry fees will not be refunded.

TRANSFERS TO OTHER PARTICIPANTS
We do not permit transferring your registration to another individual prior to the race or at race bib pickup.

TRANSFERS TO OTHER DISTANCES
We encourage you to sign up for the race distance that you are confident you can complete. We cannot transfer your registration to a longer distance after purchase. Transferring down distances is permitted, however no partial refund will be provided.

REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ONLY
We ask that only registered racers with a valid Tideline Classic race bib are on our specific race course on the day of the race. If you are found racing the Tideline Classic course without valid registration, you will be banned from future events.

There are no dogs or strollers permitted to race alongside participants. We also ask that participants limit any headphones to one earbud only. This race takes place on a public Seawalk and it’s imperative that participants can hear people around you to keep everyone safe.

RACE NUMBERS
Participants in the 11k and 5k are required to pick up their individual race bib on race day. You can only pick up your own bib. Anyone found wearing someone else's race bib and number on the course will be disqualified.

Race numbers must be clearly visible on the front of participant’s shirts in order to ensure accurate timing.

WAIVER
All participants must complete the online Race Roster waiver when registering, as well an additional on-site paper waiver for the Tideline Classic. Participants will be required to sign the paper waiver on-site prior to receiving their race number.

COURSE MARKINGS
This race will take place on public sidewalks and paths. There will be course markings at all intersections and at regular intervals along the Seawalk. There will be course marshals at all crossing points in the Willow Point business area.

Participants are required to be aware of their surroundings and other public users of the sidewalks and paths.

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. It’s extremely important that we ensure all participants have made it back to the finish area, or home, safely. Medical staff and Race Directors have the authority to remove any racer if they deem it unsafe for the runner to continue.

TIMING
Manual timing will be in place for the race to provide every participant with an individual time, available immediately on RaceClocker. There are no chips, therefore it is important that each participant clearly displays their bib on the front of their shirt in order to allow our timing team to accurately log start and finish times according to each bib number. No split times will be available.
