🌿 Run The Point – Where Nature Meets Your Next PR 🌿

If you love exploring parks, chasing new challenges, and being part of a community that cheers you on every step of the way, Run The Point at Emerson Point Preserve was made for you.

This isn’t just another 5K or 5-mile race—it’s an experience. Imagine running through one of Florida’s most scenic coastal preserves, surrounded by lush greenery and wide-open skies, with sweeping views of Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and even the distant shores of Egmont Key. Along the way, you might spot an osprey soaring overhead, a roseate spoonbill flashing its pink wings, or even a gopher tortoise making its own slow-and-steady trek.

Whether you’re chasing a new PR, testing your pace on a smooth, runner-friendly course, or just soaking in the beauty of nature, you’ll find that this race strikes the perfect balance between performance and pure enjoyment.

We know the little things matter, too—yes, there are plenty of restrooms, packet pickup is simple, and your swag bag will be waiting. Race morning is organized so you can focus on what you came to do: run your best race and enjoy it.

And here’s the best part—you don’t have to be a marathoner to feel like a champion here. Maybe you’ve got your eye on that big dream of running a half marathon under 2:30. This race is the kind of step that builds confidence, community, and momentum to get you there. It’s a chance to prove to yourself that you’re stronger than you think, surrounded by people who get it.


So grab your running shoes, bring your family, and come join us at the edge of the Gulf. You’ll leave with memories, new friends, and maybe even a story worthy of the next underdog highlight reel.


🏃‍♀️ Run The Point. Push your limits. Find your community. 🏃
