The 2 Story HOB Brewing Complex is the best venue in Dunedin, Florida located on the fully paved Pinellas Trail and ALWAYS where the PARTY begins.

This run is open to all ages and levels of ability and is stroller and dog friendly! Register early as the price increases closer to the race in an attempt to slow down registrations as we approach the sell out for each race date. The race sells out at 250 participants and is in high demand so don't wait as there is typically no race week registration.

Parking is free and encouraged at the Artisan Parking Garage across from the venue at 356 Monroe Street, Dunedin, FL 34698, or any legal downtown parking areas. The city and race management cannot be responsible for any parking violations even though they are very rare in Dunedin.

Each registered bib number gets a LARGE AND SUBSTANTIAL finisher’s medal, and electronically timed distance run on the fully paved Pinellas Trail, and a RUN FLORIDA promotional t-shirt and free draft craft beer for everyone over the age of 21 from HOB Brewing on site at our fun post race party.

Dunedin is always a very popular venue which takes you through downtown Dunedin from HOB out north and back exclusively on the Pinellas Trail so bring your best attitude and leave the ear buds and air pods at home. An email is sent to all participants by NOON the day before the race with your assigned bib number that you’ll pick up on race morning as well as your waiver or release to participate. If you don’t get this email by noon the day before the event please text 727-CAN-RACE with a good email address and we’ll forward the email to that address. If you register on race morning the process takes much longer and the race could be sold out so register early. No matter when you register you must use your phone or computer to register through www.727CanRace.com link to Active.com This ensure our insurance protocol and allows you to purchase the 3rd party insurance in case of no show or cancellation. Race management, as an industry standard, cannot issue refunds and race day registration is never guaranteed.

Once you receive your pre race email, please look up your bib number and print your waiver, sign it, and fill it out in order TO GREATLY expedite your check in experience. You’ll be directed to a longer check in line if you need to sign a waiver on site but we will provide them for those who do not have access to a printer. DO NOT email them back to us as they must be presented on race day. There is NO packet or tshirt pick up prior to race day.

Parking is free at the Artisan Parking Garage, 356 Monroe Street, Dunedin, FL 34698. After you park your vehicle, please walk west across the Pinellas Trail to HOB Brewing Company, 941 Huntley Avenue, Dunedin, FL 34698. This is your start/finish area. Please remain on site at HOB and off the Pinellas Trail until Suzanne calls your distance to walk you out together as a group to your exact starting area.

Note that where a 10K is a 2 loop course and the 15K is a 3 loop course of the 5K route. We offer these in our cooler months which are popular for those training for larger races in longer distances. Because we are less in competitive nature, you can turn in early if you’re not feeling well for the repeat lap(s) just let timing know how many laps you completed as we record your time by the bib color which indicates to us the distance you signed up for. Please see Suzanne for a reassigned bib if you change distance when you arrive.

We will have a bike lead and plenty of volunteers along the route. All participants who are still on the trail after 3 hours must abide by the 4 way stops at each intersection. Police and volunteers are at each Pinellas Trail 4 way stop intersections but you are responsible for your own safety so eyes
