One of the things we love most about our Coastal Edge 5K races is the spirit of the event. Our race is designed to be a fun, welcoming run for everyone, whether you’re chasing a personal best, jogging with friends, walking the course, or crossing your very first finish line. As a reminder, the Coastal Edge Steel Pier Classic 5K is a fun run and not a chipped/timed race. Our goal is to create an experience that feels inclusive, encouraging, and welcoming to runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and paces.
