St. Petersburg Distance Classic

This is a beautiful, mostly out-and-back course showcasing St. Petersburg’s residential waterfront areas in and near Snell Isle.

With a start time before sunrise, most runners will complete the course before the sun rises high enough to present any challenges. Also, with just two inclines – a small bridge onto Snell Isle and back, this should be a lightning fast course for those seeking a PR.

Review

This was my first 5k, and I walked in the fitness walk. My friend and I were the last two to finish that walk, and I was very happy to do that.
Everything seemed to go well, I was very happy that you had a 5k walk. I just wish that there were more walks and some longer ones to progress to, thanks again for having a walk for those of us that are just starting to get in shape.
