The Not Since Moses race, held annually in Five Islands, Nova Scotia, offers a truly unparalleled running experience by taking participants onto the exposed ocean floor of the Bay of Fundy. Leveraging the world's highest tides, this unique event allows runners to traverse muddy, rocky, and often challenging terrain that is typically submerged under meters of water. Participants can choose from various race distances, including a 5K that runs out and back from Five Islands Lighthouse Park, a more demanding 10K starting from Soley Cove and finishing at the Lighthouse Park, and a fun Youth Run consisting of loops on a dedicated mud course. Due to the rapid return of the tides, race completion times are strictly enforced, making it not just a race against other runners, but also a thrilling race against the sea itself.

This run/walk provides breathtaking oceanside scenery and takes participants through some of the notoriously muddy areas of the Minas Basin. It's suitable for most abilities and all ages, though youth under 12 must be accompanied by a registered adult. The race must be completed within 90 minutes due to tidal timing.
