Course Info: Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) will be holding its annual, statewide Against the Tide multi-sport events again in 2019. Set against the backdrop of two beautiful state parks, Against the Tide offers something for all outdoor enthusiasts. Participants can enjoy pristine beaches and water locales for the half-mile paddleboard, 2-mile kayak, and competitive or recreational 1-mile swims. A 1 mile and 1/2-mile recreational swim is also available. The USATF certified 5K and 10K runs, and the 3-mile fitness walk feature rolling, tree-lined paved courses. All ages and abilities are welcome to choose from 1, 2, 3 or more of these exciting activities. The event also offers an Aquathon ?Splash and Dash? component, where participants ?splash? in the competitive 1-mile swim and immediately ?dash? in 5K or 10K run (chosen by the participant). All swim and run events are chip timed.
More: Participants may register as an individual or as part of a team. Registration is $40 per adult per event activity and $25 per student per event activity. Participants are encouraged to fundraise beyond these suggested minimums, as all proceeds support Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition?s unique goal towards breast cancer prevention. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest swim, run, and Aquathon athletes and top fundraisers.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
