The result was soft delete Beach Run per low participation herein and no consensus (WP:NPASR) for Beach Walking per low participation herein. The delete !vote later in the discussion appears to only be referring to the initial Beach Run article in the nomination, per use of singular grammar ("its own notability"), rather than plural, which would pertain to both articles.

Also nominated: Beach Walking

Both "Beach Run" and "Beach Walking" seem to be non-notable categories of sport. Almost all references on the web to its "governing body" that I see on Google seem to be spam type links. While there seem to be many references on the web to the concept of running on the beach or 5Ks that are held on beaches, there doesn't seem to be any notability to the concept as its own category of sport. only (talk) 08:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC) http://www.ilsf.org/about/recognition/ioc
 * Keep. The International Life Saving Federation, with its different sports specialties (Beach Run, etc), are recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

 * As I said on the Simple English Wikipedia RFD, that provides notability for the organization, but not for the sport. The sports of the ILSF that seem to be the sports they're recognized for are their life saving sports, not their beach running.  only (talk) 13:19, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: This has been a quiet debate so far. The only arguments to keep have come from a one-subject editor heavily invested in the subject, however there has also been too little on the other side for me to reasonably close this as a delete for either article. More contributions would be appreciated. KaisaL (talk) 15:50, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as my own searches are still not finding anything confidently convincing of improving for its own notability. SwisterTwister   talk  19:34, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
