The Veterans Run is back! 🇺🇸
By popular demand, one of Tampa's favorite races is finally returning! After a two-year hiatus due to hurricane damage and city restrictions, we’re excited to bring this event back to the community! 🇺🇸🏆🏃🏻➡️
Join us as we honor America’s veterans with a race dedicated to supporting them. Whether you’re running competitively or just out for fun, all distances will offer certified timing.
The course takes place along the paved trail on the southern side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway, offering stunning views of Tampa Bay. While Florida is known for being flat, this route features a relatively high peak (by local standards), giving runners in the longer distances a rewarding climb and a beautiful overlook.
Race distances include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- 15.5-Mile Run
All courses follow an out-and-back format along the Causeway trail. Each distance showcases beautiful scenery, but only the 15.5-mile race covers the full length of the Causeway.
We’ll have well-stocked aid stations throughout the course with water and electrolyte drinks, plus additional fuel options for half marathon and 15.5-mile participants. Sanitary conditions will be maintained at all stations, and we’re happy to answer any specific questions.
After the race, join us for a celebration starting at 10:30 AM at Whiskey Joe's. Stick around, relax, and enjoy time with fellow runners! 🥇

Refunds

Community Food Drive
We have a new addition to this year's Veterans Run: we will now include a community food drive! On race day, we'll be collecting non-perishable items to donate to our local food bank, which will be especially helpful since Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks from our race day.
The food drive is completely optional, so whether you come to run, walk, or donate, your participation matters!
We're asking for food donations such as:
- Canned goods
- Pastas
- Beans
- Rice
- Cereals
- Granola bars
- Nut butters
We'll have a station set up to collect your donations on the day of the race but if you have any questions, please feel free to shoot us an email.
Military & Veteran Discount
