Tampa WWP & Invited Countryside 5K - Carry Forward Virtual 5K
This event is part of the Wounded Warrior Project Carry Forward Virtual 5K, a fundraising effort that supports programs for veterans and their families. The in-person activities occur in October 2026 with packet pick-up available at Fit2Run in International Plaza Shopping Mall in Tampa and at Countryside Country Club in Clearwater.
The on-site run is a family-focused 5K that starts and finishes in front of the Country Club Fitness Center, which is the center of the vendor area. The route is primarily flat and follows a paved cart path; it is wheelchair accessible. Participants may complete the course at their own pace, and official race results will not be provided.
Participant kits include an event T-shirt and bib, and all medals will be available at the finish area. Entries are non-transferable. Clubhouse parking and restrooms are available on site. Due to golf course regulations, only service dogs are permitted. Personal tents, umbrellas, and bag checks are not accommodated.
The event offers three optional symbolic ways to participate: carrying a flag to show support, carrying a weight to represent the responsibilities veterans bear, or carrying another person to symbolize one warrior supporting another. A mobile app is available to track activity during the Carry Forward 5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
