About the Tiki Time Run: Paradise Run 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon
The course runs along a flat beach path, so you have ocean views the whole way. The start and finish are at Granada Beach, and the route stays close to the water throughout. It is a road race on a paved path, which makes for easy footing. The surroundings are open and breezy, even in summer.
Check-in opens near the start and finish line at Granada Beach before the first wave goes off. Post-race, there are popsicles, cold fruit, and spa water at the finish. A Polynesian dance performance follows, and hula dancers are part of the finish-line scene. There is a tiki photo backdrop set up for after you cross.
