Galax Elementary Tide Run VIRTUAL 5K/10K

Anyplace, VA

We are saddened that because of events beyond our control we are not allowed to have an in person Tide Run this year, however we are hosting a virtual run between August 8, 2020 and August 22, 2020.  This virtual race proceeds will support the STPO drive this year which will be purchasing Maroon Tide masks for all faculty, staff, and students at the Galax Elementary School this fall.  We appreciate your support and understand during these unusual times, and hope to see everyone in person for our Spring 2021 Tide Run.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RUN?
You can run the 5K or 10K anytime between August 8 and August 22 on any course of your choosing, even on a treadmill! Or you can run the original race course, which begins at the Galax trail head, 212 East Stuart Drive, Galax, VA near the Red Caboose, then follow along the beautiful Chestnut Creek.  Runners will run out and back to a turnaround, depending on the distance, and return to the finish line at the trailhead. See the course map below.
