Why wait until the end of the year when Christmas comes to Clearwater in July! That's right, it's Christmas in July and this 5K ends with a finish's medal that doubles as a Christmas tree ornament! It will remind you how awesome you were to reach the finish line in the heat of the summer in July.

This race is our 2nd largest fundraiser of the year as we gather backpacks for the Backpack lady project 501c3 which are dispersed to children who can not afford them in the Pinellas County School District. The backpack/toy DRIVE is not mandatorty but we hope each of your will bring one backpack for any age student or an unwrapped new toy to race check in . All toys will be donated to dersiving kids in the Clearwater community through our teens at Finish Lines For Scholarships.
