The race is an out-and-back course that starts and ends in front of Benchmark International Arena (formerly Amalie Arena) at 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602. The course crosses the Platt Street Bridge, includes a section along Bayshore Boulevard for 5K participants, and returns to the arena for post-race snacks and awards.
Limited dogs are welcome when registered appropriately. Strollers are allowed; stroller participants should line up at the back. Children in strollers do not need to be registered, must remain in the stroller while on course, and will not receive a race shirt or swag. The event funds Tampa YMCA programs, including full support for the Kids Thrivers Club for youth cancer survivors and the Pedaling for Parkinson's program, and it also supports diabetes prevention, blood pressure monitoring, older adult fitness programs, and related community health initiatives.
