Tired of pounding the pavement on the same ole’ 5K race course? Go-pher something different and enjoy 7 kilometers of natural trails through one of Tampa Bay’s hidden gems!

The Gopher Weedon trail run will take runners and walkers along a journey through native Florida habitats, including gorgeous views of Tampa Bay.

This unique, professionally-timed race will take place at the Weedon Island Preserve - a 3,700 acre preserve nestled along Tampa Bay in northeast St. Petersburg.

After the race, enjoy refreshments before strolling through the Cultural and Natural History Center, where you can learn more about the prehistoric people and the natural environment.

There will be special educational activities and festivities, commemorating the 10 year anniversary of the cultural center.

Proceeds from the race will benefit the Friends of Weedon Island's mission to support environmental preservation and education at the Weedon Island Preserve.

All registered runners/walkers will receive:
• 1-year membership to the Friends of Weedon Island, Inc.
• Race T-shirt
• Professional race timing and race results
• Awards for each age group, 3-deep
• Refreshments and aid stations
