Beach Dash

Beach Dash is a gnarly running event held on sandy shores where Dashers get their feet wet while tackling a series of radical obstacles. As the sun sets, the stoked crowd lets loose with beer and beach tunes!

Event officials reserve the right to modify any event rule at any time for any reason.

Participants shall be responsible for knowing any modification to the Beach Dash rules published prior to the event.

A Sandy, Obstacle-Filled 5k Course.

Obstacles are designed to be both fun and challenging! It is the responsibility of the participant to determine if they cannot complete an obstacle.

Course officials will be stationed at every obstacle for participant safety.
It is the responsibility of the participant to notify course officials at any obstacle if the participant ever feels in danger or is injured.

Beach bums are Dashers too! It's all about having a good time.

There's certainly risk involved in Beach Dash, but we take every precaution possible to get you to the finish line safely. Paramedics and an ambulance are on site in case of an emergency. Also, every obstacle is quality constructed and certified safety tested; relax mon!

Skipping obstacles makes you less competitive and you will not be eligible for any awards. If you're okay with that, then so are we!

Yeah dude, we're on a beach! There will be a water station provided halfway through the race to keep Dashers hydrated under the sun.

The water will never be deep enough where you have to swim. Feel free to bring your arm floaties if you're really stressin'.

Beach Dash medical personnel may examine any participant who appears to be injured or suffering. The medical personnel may remove any participant from the event if in the opinion of the medical personnel the participant needs to be removed.

Participants assume all responsibility for all medical expenses incurred as a result of training and/or participating in Beach Dash, including but not limited to hospitalization, ambulance transportation or physician services.
The event producers (Red Frog Events) reserve the right to cancel or delay the race due to severe weather or in the event of a disaster.
We highly recommend participants wear running shoes. Participants should be dressed appropriately.

Unfortunately, due to the volume of participants we are unable to send out individual packets.

Winners must be present at the ceremony to receive their award.

Absolutely! We love to see unique and creative getups! While hula skirts and coconut bra's are funny, we know your gnarly noggin's can create some sick outfits! You're good to go as long as your costume does not harm other participants.

You're on a beach, there's water everywhere! Take a dip after finishing the Dash.
