Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Pier Run
Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Pier Run is a holiday event held on July 4th, 2027 at the St Pete Pier and Spa Beach in St Petersburg, Florida. The main event is a 4 mile walk/run along a flat, waterfront course that begins near Spa Beach and finishes on the Pier. The course is closed to traffic and includes one on-course hydration station. The event limits participants to a total field across two waves and caps entries at 1,500 runners per wave and 3,000 participants overall.
Event features include a post race beach party with July 4th food options and adult beverages from local breweries, branded post race items such as beach towels and ice buckets, and a cold plunge provided by a cold-plunge vendor. A local recovery service will offer post event recovery support. Ancillary activities scheduled around the run include a costume contest with awards for Best Overall, Most Patriotic, and Best Group, and a pie eating contest limited to 20 participants.
The 2x4 Challenge allows runners to complete both waves for an 8 mile total; 2x4 finishers receive one bib, a race shirt, and two medals. Entry inclusions list a bib with timing chip, race shirt, finisher medal, and beach towel. The event names the St Pete Youth Farm as its charity partner. The organizer’s refund policy states there are no refunds, with a deferral option available before the stated deadline for partial credit toward next year.
