Happy Holidays!
Join us on our flat, fast and visually varied course, which showcases Florida's coastal living. You will run through exclusive residential and commercial areas in our beach communities, along smoothly paved Pinellas Trail, and through shaded public parks. Average weather in December: Low 52, High 72.
This race is perfectly timed for runners training for Disney, Gasparilla, Miami, Ocala, Sarasota or for endurance athletes seeking a final race before the holidays.
Just wanted to let you know that this was my first half marathon.
It was an extremely well organized and great event.
From check-in to water stations, to volunteers to finish line, etc. It was
all done top-notch. It made the first time experience of 13.1 an enjoyable
one for me. Plus all the "goodies" at the finish line and the
area for the finish (especially for those with families
like me) was a great spot for viewing and recovering!

I'm happy since I beat my last 1/2 marathon time by 3.5 minutes.
Look forward to next year's race. I highly recommend this race!
Very fun, scenic, and well organized. I appreciate your hard work
for putting these races together. At 48, it keeps me healthy and
young in spirit.

Another great race! The best volunteers, good food and a great
course! Oh, and one of the most supportive RD's in the county!

We are happy to offer several races this season:
5th Annual Clearwater 5-Miler
2nd Annual Clearwater 5K Fitness Walk
For additional information for any of our events, please visit www.FloridaRoadRaces.com.
All our races are located on Florida's west coast near Tampa Bay. With our award-winning, white sandy beaches, we are known as "Florida's Beach" – the perfect spot to recover after running our races. Visit www.FloridasBeach.com.
In addition to offering finisher awards and event overall awards after each race, we will also track each athlete's finishing times and add them together to determine Champions of the Florida Halfathon Challenge.
Athletes accumulate their total finishing time by completing any three of our four halfathons during each season from Halloween through March. Those athletes who complete all four of our halfathons will have their slowest time dropped automatically.
To recognize our fastest and most consistent halfathon athletes, we will offer special overall and age-group rewards based on three halfathons. We will also recognize athletes who complete all four of our halfathons in a special way, yet to be determined.
