Run Fest Route Circles Downtown St. Pete

Hundreds of runners will take to downtown St. Petersburg’s streets Nov. 18-19 for the inaugural St. Pete Run Fest.

The half marathon course begins near The Dali Museum and takes runners along Central Avenue, past Tropicana Field and through the Grand Central, Edge and Warehouse Arts districts. If you’re not ready for a half marathon, register for the youth run or 5K, or do the half relay, splitting the 13.1-mile run with a partner.

It’s more than a run. Organizers are donating $1 per mile to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic’s food bank for every 5K participant.
