6th Annual Veterans Run
Sat November 14, 2026
Tampa, FL 33607 US
For those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Back by popular demand! This is one of our favorite races, and we are thrilled to be able to make it happen again! Let's honor America's veterans with an event focused on supporting them! This event will be a fun run and will have a certified time for all distances! The path is the paved Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail on the southern side of the bridge. There is a relatively high (in Florida terms) peak that each distance (with the exception of the 5K) will cover along the route that allows for a picturesque view of Tampa Bay. It is truly one of Tampa's most beautiful places to run or walk. There will be a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and 15.5-mile option for this race. All distance runs will go along the south side trail of the Courtney Campbell Causeway, out and back style. While each of the distances provides a beautiful view, only the 15.5-mile race will run the entire length of the Causeway. Note: the reason you see 16 and 15.5 miles is because of work being done on the far West end of the trail. If repairs are complete by the end of the summer it will be a 16-mile end to end, if not it will be 15.5-miles end to end. We will have plenty of aid stations along the course with water and an electrolyte drinks. There will also be food-type fuel for half marathon and 15.5-mile runners. We will ensure sanitary conditions for all aid stations, but feel free to ask questions about specifics. Post Race celebrations will be taking place at 10:30am at Whiskey Joe's. Please feel free to stick around and socialize.

You will start out at one of the shelters and run alongside the water taking in the magnificent views of Tampa Bay. Let the smell of the Bay engulf your senses and open your airways as you soak in the early morning sun. This will truly be one of the most beautiful races in which you have ever entered.
