Florida Shamrock Distance Classic: Halfathon, 10K, 5K - Saint Petersburg, Florida - Running

The Florida Shamrock Distance Classic: Halfathon, 10K, 5K is a Running race in Saint Petersburg, Florida consisting of a Half Marathon and 5K and 10K.

Get your green on and join us in celebrating the arrival of spring during our Florida Shamrock Halfathon & 5K Race (formerly Florida Beach Halfathon and 5K), at Fort De Soto Park, located near St. Petersburg on Florida's beautiful west coast at the mouth of Tampa Bay.

Both our courses are located entirely in Ft. De Soto Park, starting and finishing adjacent to the park's North Beach, regularly recognized as one of the nation's best beaches. These races will be run on paved access roads and recreational trails. You will not be running on sand.

They are extremely flat courses, with no bridges, overpasses, or discernible inclines. They are accurately measured and certified by the USATF.

Both races start the same, with a 5K loop that returns athletes to the start/finish area. Post-race party begins as the 5K athletes arrive, while the Halfathoners will continue on the 10-mile out-and-back tour of Ft. De Soto Park.

Finish line treats will include fresh fruit, hot pasta, cold Michelob Ultra, and live entertainment.

Citing a spectacular combination of soft white sand, calm clear water, and a laid-back atmosphere, TripAdvisory named Ft. De Soto Park America's Top Beach, based on their Popularity Index.
