Description

We are very excited to bring you our fifth annual Starkey Wilderness Stomp Half Marathon, Quarter & 5k on Saturday, March 13, 2021.

 

Starkey Wilderness Park is an amazing Pasco County resource that is easily accessible to the greater Tampa Bay area via the Suncoast Parkway, I-75 and SR54--making it convenient for all to come and run with us in the woods.

The scenic hiking trails in Starkey feature some beautiful pine flatwoods, oak hammocks and wetland areas along the way. Best of all, the trails are wide and mostly non-technical--great for trail running beginners and for experienced off-road runners who want to go fast!
