Not Since Moses

Not Since Moses takes place on August 16, 2026 in the Five Islands area of Nova Scotia, within the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. The event uses a brief tidal window when the ocean floor in this part of the Bay is exposed.

For a few hours on certain days the tides are low enough to allow running on the exposed ocean floor. The running surface includes mud and rough, uneven terrain; participants should expect wet and irregular conditions underfoot.

The event includes multiple race options:

  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Youth Run
  • Fill Yer Boots (special event)

The organisers provide local resources such as Bay of Fundy tide information, travel routes to Five Islands, and details on local accommodations and dining. Information for runners and frequently asked questions is available to address practical and safety considerations for running on the tidal flats. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
