St. Pete Run Fest - Volunteer Page

St. Pete Run Fest invites you to experience three days packed with running excitement along Florida's picturesque Gulf Coast from November 13-15, 2026. Whether you're an avid runner or just looking for fun activities, this festival offers a variety of races and challenges suitable for all ages.
The centerpiece event is the Half Marathon, which winds through scenic coastal paths with breathtaking views of the ocean. Participants will also have the opportunity to join in on the Half Marathon Relay, allowing teams to share the experience and enjoy the camaraderie as they race together across beautiful St. Petersburg landscapes.
For those who prefer shorter distances, a 10K and a family-friendly 5K are available, providing runners with an enjoyable route that showcases local parks and iconic landmarks. The festival also features special Kids Races designed to introduce young athletes to running in a fun-filled environment, as well as the Doggie Dash where furry friends can join their human companions for a unique pet-and-owner race.
In addition to these races, St. Pete Run Fest includes four distinct challenges that push participants' limits and celebrate fitness while supporting worthy causes. These events offer an exciting mix of terrain and obstacles, ensuring there's something thrilling for everyone involved.
Throughout the festival, runners will not only enjoy the vibrant atmosphere but also contribute to important local charities such as the St Pete Free Clinic, America Cancer Society-Gold Together, and the St Pete Youth Farm. By participating in or volunteering at this event, you'll be making a positive impact on your community while immersing yourself in the joy of running.
The festival is committed to being ocean-friendly, emphasizing sustainability and environmental stewardship throughout all its activities. Join us for an unforgettable weekend filled with athletic challenges, scenic beauty, and meaningful contributions to charitable causes.
