Still full? Perfect. Mash & Dash is here to help you run off that mountain of mashed potatoes with a morning of coastal miles and post-feast fun. It’s the perfect way to keep the holiday vibes rolling while giving those leftovers a little competition. Whether you’re out to burn off pie slices or just want an easy cruise by the water, this run is all about laughter, movement, and shaking off that Thanksgiving food coma.

More About the Course

This is an out and back course, meaning you will begin and finish in the same location.

Our courses are not closed, which means that there are often runners, walkers, and others enjoying the day along with you. Safety is must and all runners must stay on the right side (pedestrian side) of the beach path. The course never goes off the beach path.

On-course support: Courses are well marked with two water stations and restrooms along the way. Turns will be clearly marked with chalk, a sign that says runner turn, and a flag.
