Honor Our Heroes 5k Memorial Run
The 10th Annual Honor Our Heroes 5k Memorial Run is organized by Oldsmar Cares, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the local community since 1997. They provide assistance as a food pantry, clothing closet, and offer temporary rent and utility assistance. This event is a collaboration with the All-American VFW Post 12186 in Oldsmar, with all net proceeds supporting their efforts to serve residents, families, veterans, and community projects.
The race features opening ceremonies at 7:00 am near Oldsmar City Hall, with the race starting at 7:15 am. The 5k (3.1 miles) course runs past Veterans Memorial Park and along Tampa Bay, suitable for competitive runners, casual joggers, pet walkers, and those with strollers. The finish line includes post-race refreshments and food.
The event is certified by USA Track & Field (Cert # CL25009JK) and recognized by the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). Awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, and top 3 finishers in each age bracket (9 and under, then every five-year increment up to 70 and over).
Discounts are available for Military, Police, Fire, EMT, and Students. Group rates for 10 or more participants are also available.
