You'll be good.

You're good. They probably time it during low tide. There's a local marathon that has a few early miles on the beach. They time it so that you are on the beach when the tide is going out, that way you have packed sand to run on.

I am not a regular beach/sand runner, but when I do, I wear my normal running shoes.

I'd wear older shoes if you have them and run near the water edge where the sand is packed (it's way easier).
