Not Since Moses
Not Since Moses takes place on August 16, 2026 within the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark at Five Islands, Nova Scotia. For a few hours on select days of the year, the tide falls low enough in this part of the bay to allow running on the exposed ocean floor.
The course runs across the exposed shoreline at low tide. The surface is described as muddy and rough, so the route uses natural beach and ocean-floor terrain rather than paved roads. The event is organized by the Blue Nose Marathon Society and includes multiple race formats.
Distances offered include:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Youth Run
- Fill Yer Boots
Practical information is provided for local travel routes, accommodations and places to eat, and there is guidance about Bay of Fundy tide conditions relevant to the event. The event lists a number of community sponsors and includes an acknowledgement that it takes place in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.
