Florida Shamrock Distance Classic - St. Petersburg, Florida - Running

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

Put on your green and celebrate the arrival of spring at our Florida Shamrock Halfathon, 10K (new!) and 5K, located at Fort De Soto Park, near St. Petersburg on Florida's beautiful west coast at the mouth of Tampa Bay. Fort De Soto's beaches are regularly recognized as one of the nation's best.

Both our courses are located entirely in Fort De Soto Park, starting and finishing at the park's North Beach. These races will be run on paved access roads and recreational trails; no running on the beach.

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

The races starts are staggered, with a 5K loop that returns athletes to the start/finish area while the Halfathoners will continue on the 10-mile out-and-back tour of Fort De Soto Park. Post-race party begins when the 5K athletes arrive,

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