OUR 2017 - 18 SCHEDULE
October 1, 2017 - 3rd Annual Ft. De Soto 15K & 5K Race, (near St. Petersburg)

January 21, 2018 - 19th Annual Clearwater Distance Classic: 50K Ultra, Marathon, Halfathon, 5 Miler & 5K Walkathon,Downtown Clearwater
March 11, 2018 - 9th Annual Ft. De Soto Halfathon & Spring 5K Race, Ft. De Soto Park
Staged in the gorgeous Tampa Bay area, all our races are held several weeks apart, allowing you plenty of time for training and recovery. Kick off the race season in October with our Ft. De Soto 15K & 5K Race, measure your progress a few weeks later at our Halloween Halfathon & 5K Race, and return to test yourself at season's end with our Ft. De Soto Halfathon & Spring 5K Race.
All three are staged in Ft. De Soto Park on extremely flat courses with no hills, bridges, or other discernible inclines. Finish any combination of all three events and you EARN THE TRIPLE CROWN FINISHER medal. Run all three 5K races and we will combine times to rank and determine 5K Triple Crown Overall, Master, and Age Group Champions.
For athletes with greater endurance goals, our 4-Race Halfathon Challenge is ideal!
Run the two halfathons mentioned above at Ft. De Soto, but also join us for December's Holiday Halfathon, starting in Madeira Beach. In January, run the Clearwater Halfathon, Marathon, or 50K Ultra to qualify for the Halfathon Challenge Finishers Medal.
At season's end, we combine your times to determine Florida Halfathon Challenge Overall, Masters, Grand Masters, and Age Group Champions.
A cash purse will be awarded to the top 5 male and female winners.
Can't make all four halfathons? You can still earn a ranking - we use your fastest 3 halfathon "segments" and 1 of those 3 MUST be at the Florida Beach Halfathon. The Clearwater Marathon can be used for 2 "halfathon segments."
Bring your friends and family members to Florida for a mid-winter's break, as we truly offer "something for everyone" at our Clearwater Distance Classic, with a 5-Miler and 5K Walkathon rounding out the day's activities.
By the way, these Clearwater courses are often described as Florida's most scenic AND the most challenging in the state, both due to the ascents over bridges connecting the mainland and our barrier islands.
Register RISK-FREE, as all early entrants (at least 3 months prior to the specific race) are "refund-eligible" if you need to withdraw for whatever reason, no questions asked, as long as you let us know at least 3 weeks prior to the race you are canceling. Refunds are pro-rated for those who enter either the Triple Crown or the Halfathon Challenge and processed at season's end.

FLORIDA HALFATHON CHALLENGE - VIRTUAL OPTION
For virtual athletes who would like to run or walk anywhere in the world on their own schedule and still earn one of our finisher's medals. Athletes who register for the entire series virtually will receive the series completion medal automatically.
ENTRY FEES FOR ALL 4 VIRTUAL HALFATHONS
$130 online only until October 26 for athletes with a USA mailing address
$160 online only until October 26 for athletes with an international mailing address
There are no discounts offered for signing up early, as our virtual option is first and foremost, a fundraiser for those non-profits we support.
However, there are several benefits to signing up early for the entire virtual series:
1) Registration service fees are minimized when signing up for the entire series at the same time.
2) Virtual athletes who register for the entire series will be the first athletes to be sent their finisher medals after each race.
3) Registering once is certainly more convenient than registering for each individual event.
