SUP & RUN 5K
The 11th Annual SUP & RUN 5K takes place at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. This multi-sport event provides participants with various ways to compete on land and water, with proceeds benefiting RUCK9. The event features a combination of running and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) across a variety of registration categories.
Participants can choose from several event options:
- 5 km Run or Walk
- 5 km Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP)
- 5 km Run and 5 km SUP combination
- Handcycle and Wheelchair Division
- Virtual 5 km Walk or Run
In the combination event, athletes complete the 5 km run first before transitioning to their paddleboards for a 5 km circuit around Nathan Benderson Lake. A timing mat at the start line provides chip timing for those participating in both segments. Attendees participating in any SUP portion are required to know how to swim.
The event is open to serious competitors and casual participants alike, including walkers. Facilities at the venue include a post-race celebration area with a beer garden and a rum station. All finishers receive a custom medal and a race shirt. Awards are presented six deep in each five-year age group. Paddleboard rentals are available for an additional fee for those who do not bring their own equipment. Parking is available on-site at Nathan Benderson Park.
