Veterans Run - Tampa
The 6th Annual Veterans Run is scheduled for November 14, 2026 at Ben T. Davis Park in Tampa, Florida. The event is presented as a veterans focused running event with in-person and virtual options and timed results for all distances.
The route uses the paved Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail on the southern side of the causeway and is run out and back. Most distances cross a relatively high point on the causeway that provides views of Tampa Bay; the 5K does not include this peak. Only the 15.5 mile distance will run the entire length of the causeway as described, with a possible 16 mile end to end if repairs on the far west end are completed in time.
Available race distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- 15.5 mile (may be 16 miles if trail repairs are complete)
Aid stations are provided along the course offering water and electrolyte drinks; additional food type fuel is available for half marathon and 15.5 mile runners. Organizers state sanitary conditions will be maintained at aid stations.
Post race celebrations are held at Whiskey Joes. Military members, reservists, and veterans of the U.S. military are offered a 20 percent registration discount using code 26vet20 with no proof required. Refunds are not available unless city officials require cancellation. Early packet pickup details are not yet finalized. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
