RESULTS

Please join us on one of the most unique 5K courses in the Tampa Bay area. Enjoy this beautiful yet challenging 5K course as it winds its way through the lush, wooded grounds of the Babe Zaharias golf course. Surrounded by the quaint charm of Forest Hills, this race offers a flat, fast run sure to appeal to all levels of runners.

The 5K starts promptly at 6:30 pm and will be chip timed by TRC Race Management.

For those that do not wish to participate in the 5K, but want to join in the fun, there will also be a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk immediately following the 5K. Have questions? See the FAQ section at the bottom of this page or email us at [email protected].
