Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run : Lowry Park, Tampa, FL
The Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run is a free, community-focused event held at Lowry Park in Tampa. It commemorates Juneteenth, promotes community health, and supports efforts against type 2 diabetes. The event is described as family-friendly and open to people of all ages.
The course was revised for this edition and includes a scenic stretch alongside the Hillsborough River. The event is untimed and does not issue medals. Organizers report nearly 400 participants attended last year. Local partners and sponsors include TECO, TampaWell, and the Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival, among others.
On-site features listed by the organizer include music, nutritious food options, community partners and local organizations, and a Kidz Zone hosted with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers activation team.
