The Experience

Back by popular demand! This is one of our favorite races, and we are thrilled to be able to make it happen again! We have not been able to hold this race for the past 2 years because of the damage that was caused by the hurricane, and the city wouldn't allow any organized events until all repairs were complete.  Let's honor America's veterans with an event focused on supporting them! This event will be a fun run and will have a certified time for all distances! The path is the paved Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail on the southern side of the bridge. There is a relatively high (in Florida terms) peak that each distance (with the exception of the 5K) will cover along the route that allows for a picturesque view of Tampa Bay. It is truly one of Tampa's most beautiful places to run or walk. There will be a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and 15.5-mile option for this race. All distance runs will go along the south side trail of the Courtney Campbell Causeway, out and back style. While each of the distances provides a beautiful view, only the 15.5-mile race will run the entire length of the Causeway. We will have plenty of aid stations along the course with water and an electrolyte drinks. There will also be food-type fuel for half marathon and 15.5-mile runners. We will ensure sanitary conditions for all aid stations, but feel free to ask questions about specifics. Post Race celebrations will be taking place at 10:30am at Whiskey Joe's. Please feel free to stick around and socialize.
