Multi-Sport Event in Hopkinton
Against the Tide is a family-friendly, multi-sport event held in Hopkinton to benefit the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. Now in its 34th year at this location, the event takes place in a rain or shine environment. Participants can choose between several competitive and recreational activities focused on running, walking, and swimming.
The event features established courses for both running and swimming:
- 5 km run or walk (USATF certified)
- 10 km run (USATF certified)
- Competitive and recreational swim courses
Participants may use wetsuits during the swim portions of the event. To ensure the safety of all participants on the beach, pets and dogs are not permitted, though service animals are allowed.
Registration is available online until the evening before the event, and walk-in registration is also provided on the morning of the activity. There is no early bib pickup; all participants collect their bibs at the registration tent on-site. The event provides opportunities for individuals to form or join teams for fundraising purposes. All proceeds support community education and environmental health programs focused on breast cancer prevention. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
