Education Foundation Ringling Bridge Run
The Education Foundation Ringling Bridge Run is a community running event held in Sarasota, Florida. This event marks the third annual edition of the race, which takes participants across the Ringling Bridge. The course is sanctioned by the Manasota Race Club and features routes that utilize the westbound side of the bridge, while the eastbound side remains open for two-way vehicle traffic under the guidance of the Sarasota Police Department.
The event offers several distances to accommodate different levels of participation:
- 10K
- 5K
- Family Fun Run
The start and finish lines are located at The Bay, with designated parking available at the Van Wezel lot. For participants in the 10K distance, the parking lot has specific closure times to manage runner safety. The starting line is situated a short walk from the parking area.
Every race registration includes a finisher medal and a race shirt, both of which feature color-changing elements. Participation in the fun run is free, and the event allows the use of strollers and service dogs for this specific distance. Proceeds from the event benefit the Education Foundation of Sarasota County, a nonprofit organization that provides programming and support for public school teachers and students.
