Event overview
The Education Foundation Ringling Bridge Run is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, 2026, in Sarasota, Florida. The event offers three options: a 5K, a 10K, and a family fun run. Proceeds benefit the Education Foundation of Sarasota County, a nonprofit that supports public school teachers and students in Sarasota County. Registration for the 5K and 10K includes a shirt and a finisher medal. Walkers, strollers, and service dogs are welcome in the fun run; walkers and strollers are asked to start and remain behind runners for safety.
