Join us Saturday, June 15, 2019 to celebrate Father's Day at Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, FL! This is a 5K event that the entire family can enjoy together and create lasting memories. Everyone is welcome! The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay are our non-profit partner.
**This run is 100% on the beach. We will have a starting area by one of the lifeguard stands, and run along the water to the half-way point. There will be signage, water, and definitely one of the best 5Ks that you will experience!
*Virtual 5K*
The Virtual 5K is for athletes around the United States who can't make the Tampa or Sarasota Great Father's Day Race. The participants will register and run/walk the 5K at the location of their choice. Participants will receive an official bib, dry-fit t-shirt, medal, and goodie bag. Most importantly, they'll be able to participate in the fun where ever they are!
