Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA

About the Event

Experience the serene beauty of Manatee River State Park as you run through its picturesque trails during Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA, returning to Bradenton on November 14, 2026. The race commences at dawn from this lush green space by the river, offering participants a tranquil start with views of water and nature. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie; runners are encouraged to wear bright colors or supportive messages to show unity in mental health advocacy.
Race day weather promises mild conditions, with temperatures ranging between 16°C and 26°C, and humidity at around 71%. A slight breeze from the southwest keeps things comfortable. The course is a blend of paved paths and scenic trails within the park, presenting diverse terrains such as open fields and forested areas. Runners will enjoy natural breaks in elevation along the riverbank.
The event offers various distances to suit all levels: 5K, 10K, half-marathon (13.1), and a Family 1 Mile Fun Run, with virtual options available for those unable to join on race day. Race starts at 7:30 AM for early birds; later waves begin promptly at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM respectively.
Participants can expect two aid stations along the course to ensure they stay hydrated and fueled. While there are no timing chips, runners can track their progress using apps like Strava or RunKeeper. Bibs will be distributed on race day; bring a government-issued ID and wear appropriate running gear. Shirts for those who pre-register will arrive one week prior.
This event is more than just a run; it's about coming together to support local mental health initiatives, raising awareness and funds that affect us all. It’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals in the pursuit of better mental well-being.
