October 4th: Registration Now Open
Grab your friends, neighbors, and family and celebrate the beauty of South St. Pete with the inaugural We Run These Streets 5K! This event is for everyone. You can run your fastest and push for a personal record, walk at your own speed, cheer others on, or stroll with your kids.
It’s your race, your pace. We want you here, however you show up.
WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
At the Foundation, we know that our health is shaped by so much more than genetics. It’s shaped by our educational experiences, our job opportunities, the quality of the healthcare we’re able to access, and it’s also shaped by the neighborhoods we live in and the strength and breadth of our social ties.
We Run These Streets is all about building community in and with and celebrating our local South St. Pete neighborhoods.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
- Register to walk or run: Whether you’re an experienced pro or new to 5Ks, We Run These Streets is your race at your pace. You can stroll with your friends, sprint, moonwalk – whatever works for you.
- Cheer people on: Don’t want to hit the trail? No problem. We need people on the sidelines, cheering people on. You can support your co-workers, your family, your neighbors, your friends. Everyone needs cheerleaders in this life – and this race needs some cheerleaders, too.
- Volunteer: Want to help out on race day? Please sign up to volunteer. We’ll need help with water stations, route direction, and more.
- Spread the word: We would love for you to help us spread the word. This race is all about building and celebrating community – so please invite your networks to take part in the day.
COST AND ACCESSIBILITY
We’re committed to ensuring that price is not a barrier to participate. If you need or would meaningfully benefit from a discount code, reach out to our team at 5K@healthystpete.foundation.
The Route
We'll start at the Foundation's offices, head southwest, and pick up the Skyway/Clam Bayou Trail. We'll then wind our way through beautiful mangroves as we head toward Child's Park neighborhood before reaching our turn-around point at the rec center and returning to the Foundation.
