An original competition series hosted by Maestro Fresh Wes, featuring 10 teams of two world-class, highly skilled sand sculptors competing to create extraordinary works of art made entirely out of sand while avoiding elimination. Not only are these best-in-show duos competing against each other, they are competing against Mother Nature’s unstoppable ticking clock and the world’s highest tide at New Brunswick's iconic and beautiful Bay of Fundy. The stakes have never been higher in the world of sand sculpting as the competitors' creations - no matter how impressive - are all destined to be washed away the same day by the tide. In the end, only one team whose skill, creativity and tenacity leaves a lasting impression will be crowned the Race Against the Tide “Champions.”

A CBC original series, RACE AGAINST THE TIDE is co-produced by marblemedia and Hemmings House Pictures, based in New Brunswick. The series is executive produced by Matt Hornburg and Mark Bishop of marblemedia; series producer and writer is Carly Spencer; and Donna Luke of marblemedia serves as co-executive producer.
