About the race

2026 Bolt Run is the 26th edition of an in-person and virtual running event on November 7, 2026, presented by AdventHealth and organized by the Lightning Foundation. The event is based at Benchmark International Arena on Channelside Drive in Tampa, Florida, and will benefit Special Olympics of Florida.

Each registered participant receives a finisher’s medal, a race t-shirt, and a race bib; virtual participants will have their bibs mailed. Virtual entries offer tracking through the ASICS Runkeeper App and allow time submissions from November 7 through November 14, 2026. Packet pickup details will be announced closer to race day.

The event includes multiple distance options and race formats, with some entries bundled with a ticket to a select Lightning home game and timed results available for the 5K and 5 mile distances. Registration pricing is shown as all-in prices that include mandatory processing fees required by recent federal legislation.
