From local Tampa Bay health enthusiasts to people who have visited Tampa Bay from all over the world, we’ve fallen in love with this beautiful fully paved fitness trail known as The Courtney Campbell Trail. Many of us have dreamed about participating in an event with water on both sides and this Bay run is one of the most classic in the world.
All distances are bib chip timed with a start and finish line mat. The morning moves fast, we have a finite amount of registrants, and you will need to be on site in a timely manner in order to advance to your start corrals. The Half Marathon will begin at 7:30 a.m., The 10K will begin at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K will begin at 8:25 a.m. The Shrine Headquarter parking garage on Rocky Point will open at 6 a.m.
All distances are an out and back course on the trail which is completely paved. Due to the narrowing areas of the trail we cannot allow baby strollers or pets. If you are a participant who requires a special device please contact race management so that we start you in the perfect wave to suit your needs.
