Description

Imagine the thrill of hundreds of runners and walkers taking off on a scenic coastal course, united by a mission to empower the next generation. That's the magic of the 3rd Annual Salty Sands Run/Walk, taking place on April 20th at North Beach in Fort Desoto Park.

This year, we're not just racing for the finish line – we're fueling brighter futures for underprivileged St. Petersburg students. Your participation will directly support the Rotary Club's "Rotary Gives Backpacks" program, providing essential back-to-school supplies and lighting the path to success for local children.

Participants can choose from a 5k, 10k, 1 mile kids race and 1 mile fun/run walk, so there is a distance for everyone and every ability.  Racers in the 5k, 10k and 1 mile kids race will receive a bib, Salty Sands t-shirt and a participant medal, while the 1 mile fun run/walk will receive a t-shirt.
