Surviving the Rip 5K & 10K Run/Walk

Lace up and make an impact! Join us for the 6th Annual Surviving the Rip 5K/10K Run/Walk, our signature fundraiser that fuels lifesaving water‑safety education across our coastal communities.

Thanks to dedicated supporters like you, Nueces County has achieved zero rip‑current fatalities — a milestone worth celebrating. But the work isn’t done. Countless rescues still occur each year, reminding us that awareness, preparation, and safe habits are essential every time we step near open water.

Your participation directly supports our mission to educate beachgoers, empower families, and equip communities with the skills and knowledge needed to stay safe. Water is powerful — but with the right tools, we can prevent tragedies before they happen.

Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you’re helping save lives.

Enjoy on‑site vendors and a vibrant community united for a powerful cause.Step in. Stand up. Make waves for safety.

Register today and be part of the movement that keeps open water safer for everyone.
