Submarine Race Description

Submarine Race

Shift your gears and cruise down to the shoreline for the most "productive" run of the season! Whether you’re looking to burn off some steam or just scouting for a prime spot to park, the 2nd Annual Submarine Race & 5K is a high-octane throwback to the golden age of car culture.

Back in the day, "watching the submarine races" was the ultimate alibi for couples caught in a fogged-up Chevy at the local lookout. This year, we’re taking that classic excuse out of the parked car and onto the pavement.


The April Fools' Special

Since "submarine racing" is a sport where you never actually see the athletes, it’s only fitting that our Remote 5K (Virtual Run) takes place on April 1st—April Fools' Day! * The Concept: Run it anywhere, anytime.

  • The Joke: Much like those elusive submarines, if nobody sees you running, did it even happen? (Don't worry, we'll take your word for it).


Race Highlights

  • Classic Vibes: Channel your inner rebel-without-a-cause as you tackle the distance.

  • The "Lookout" Spirit: Perfect for those who prefer a scenic view and a bit of privacy.

  • No Flashlights Required: Unlike the local cops at Inspiration Point, we won't be knocking on any windows to tell you to "move it along"—unless you're blocking the finish line!

"Officer, I swear we’re just waiting for the periscopes to pop up!"

 Zero to 5K 

New to running? DOWNLOAD our ZERO to 5K program - Many newcomers to running become discouraged by the difficulty associated with the activity because they start too fast and push too hard. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to run in the first place. The Zero to 5K program has been specifically designed to instill a love of running and ends with participating in your first timed 5K. 

We’re here to help you achieve your goal(s), be it your first 5K, improving your run, or simply offering a resource where you can run with a group that is designed to help each other stay motivated. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. The program we provide is more of a walking and jogging regimen than a running program. The idea is to transform you from a non-runner, getting you to begin running a 5K ( or 3.1 miles) regularly in just 4 weeks.  

It’s easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program but hold yourself back. Don’t try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don’t feel pressured to continue faster than you’re able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you’re ready.
