EVENT DETAILS
The Tideline Classic presented by Foundation Rehab invites runners of all levels to experience the beauty of Campbell River as they race along our iconic Seawalk! Set against sweeping ocean views, rugged shoreline, and fresh coastal air, this celebration of movement and community showcases one of Vancouver Island’s most beloved waterfronts. Whether you’re pushing for a personal best or enjoying the journey, the Tideline Classic will offer memorable race-day experience for all ages!
In its inaugural year, the Tideline Classic will be celebrating the grand opening of Foundation Rehab’s new location across from Ken Forde Park. Race entry includes a waffle breakfast, swag bag, post-race snacks and an invitation to explore the collaborative space created by Foundation Rehab and Elevate Sports - a hub designed to support community health, movement, and performance.
COURSE
All three distances will start and finish at Ken Forde Park and have zero elevation gain. Participants will leave the start line in small groups or waves, to reduce congestion. There will be course markings but no dedicated race lane on the sidewalks and Seawalk. Participants are expected to be respectful of members of the public using the Seawalk during the race.
