The chip-timed 5K begins at 8 a.m. on a flat course that runs north and south along Waterset Boulevard, and the Kids' Fun Run follows at about 9 a.m. with three routes: a mile, a half mile and a special mini route for the littlest runners. Children get a bib, a dry-fit shirt in youth sizes and a medal, and an awards and raffle celebration follows the kids' race. Strollers are welcome at the back of the starting line; pets are not allowed this year because the race has grown. Registration is required. The Kids' Fun Run costs $20 until November 1; the 5K's $30 early-bird rate has already passed, with further increases on November 1 and November 23. Shirt sizes are guaranteed only through November 4, and check-in and day-of registration open at 7 a.m. Proceeds go to Doby Elementary, Eisenhower Middle, East Bay High and the Dorothy C. York Innovation Academy. ## Similar picks in Tampa - [Tampa Palms Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk (Tampa Palms Elementary)](https://grassyknees.com/tampa/activities/tampa-palms-turkey-trot-5k-run-walk-tampa-palms-elementary--listing-08c43c00f5f0957445403de3) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM · Tampa Palms Elementary School · All ages · From $25 · checked Oct 30.
