St. Pete Run Fest (Nov 13-15)
St. Pete Run Fest is a three day running festival in St. Petersburg, Florida, that combines multiple road races with an outdoor expo, live music, craft beer and wine, and local makers. The weekend includes a post-race party with local food, craft beer, and entertainment. The event is produced by Good Sweat Foundation Inc., a Florida nonprofit; race registration proceeds fund event operations and are used as permitted under the Foundation’s exempt purposes.
The event offers multiple race distances and family activities:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- Kids youth runs and a PeliPAWS Dog Walk
Courses run through downtown St. Pete, historic neighborhoods, and along the scenic waterfront, including views of the St. Pete Pier and local murals. Participants may see shore birds, pelicans, and dolphins from waterfront sections of the course.
Practical details: packet pickup and the expo are held at Albert Whitted Park, and a gear/bag check is available there. Water and sports drink stations and porta-potties are placed on course and at the start. Strollers are allowed on the Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K (start from the back); dogs are not permitted on race courses. Spectator zones are provided along the course and at the finish. Course time limits and age minimums apply; online registration closes November 12 with limited in-person registration at packet pickup.
