About the Coronado Rotary Low Tide Ride & Stride
The course runs on the beach itself, timed to the lowest tide of the month so the sand is wide and firm underfoot. The route heads north from Sunset Park down toward the Shores and back, staying entirely on the beach. The course was shortened a few years ago to keep runners off a section of beach that protects nesting grounds for endangered Least Terns and Snowy Plovers.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a bank parking lot on Orange Avenue, with race-day pickup opening at Sunset Park well before the gun. After the race, there is live music in the park, local vendor booths, and a spot to drop a beach chair and stay a while.
