Race Day Schedule

10K Race (6.2 miles)
5K Race / Walk (3.1 miles)

Directions

The start / finish line at North Shore Park is easily accessible at St. Petersburg’s waterfront, just north of the Vinoy Resort! If you need to Google or GPS North Shore Park, please use 901 N Shore Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701 as the address.

Course Limits

As ALL courses use the same roads and Pinellas Trail as the Marathon, there is NO time limit for the 5K, 10K, and Halfathon, in the usual sense.

However, while walkers are welcome in all our races, everyone in the 10K, Halfathon and Marathon expecting to exceed a 15 minute pace are required to start early at 6:00 am, and stay on the sidewalk until runners starting at 6:30 am pass by.

The finish line for all races will be open for 6 hours from the 6:30 a.m. start, meaning 12:30 pm. The course on public roads will open to traffic based upon that pace. For instance, marathoners should be at the midpoint by 9:30 a.m., regardless of start time. Athletes slower than that will need to move to the sidewalks and adhere to all pedestrian laws.

Course Highlights

• All competitive events start 15 minutes before sunrise.
• All courses tour through downtown Clearwater, over the Clearwater Bridge and the Clearwater Causeway.
