Tijuana Flats Summer Beach Run
The event includes three distances and awards for multiple categories. Distances offered:
- 5 mile run/walk
- 5K run/walk
- One mile fun run/walk
All finishers in the 5 mile, 5K and one mile receive large custom finisher medals. The 5 mile and 5K have awards; the 5 mile pays cash to the top three men and women overall ($150, $100, $50) and requires men to finish under 29:00 and women under 33:00 to qualify for prize money. Age-group awards are listed for standard age categories. The 5 mile is a Jacksonville Grand Prix event.
The courses are out-and-back on the beach, starting south, with digital clocks at each mile and water stations located at each mile. The turnaround points are marked with signs and cones. The race is scheduled near low tide to provide firmer packed sand.
Race packets are available at selected 1st Place Sports locations on August 13 and 14 and moved to the Jacksonville Seawalk Pavilion for race day pickup. Race instructions and assigned pickup locations are emailed to participants. Entry fees vary by date and event; there are age discounts for participants 17 and under and 65 and over for the 5K and 5 mile. No refunds, transfers or deferrals are permitted.
The post-race celebration at the Seawalk Pavilion includes free beer and a burrito from Tijuana Flats; IDs may be required. Extra meal tickets for non-participants are available for purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
