Skyway Marina District May Day Races to inspire kids and adults alike!
From the biggest of hearts to the smallest of bodies, May Day Racers of all ages, shapes and sizes will take to the track around Ceridian and the Skyway Trail on May 7, 2016. There is something for everyone at this event including beautiful scenery, competitive timing, great shirts,post-race fun, and great medals and prizes (both for race and random winners!)
Kristen Mory, who chairs the committee that has organized this annual event commented, “I love to hear about the various groups training for this event from the Couch to 5k program at Anytime Fitness to the boys and girls running club at 74th Street Elementary in St. Petersburg. I can’t wait to see these teams crossing the finish line and experiencing the joy that comes from training and working hard to accomplish their goals.”
This year’s event adds a Kids Dash for Cash sponsored by Jabil Circuit to the successful 5 and 10k started last year. Kids who participate in the Kids Dash will receive goody bags, a t-shirt, and a chance to win great prizes. Kids can participate free with an adult race entry, but all must pre-register to be guaranteed an entry. Dash distances will vary based on age up to a 1-mile run around Ceridian.
The beneficiaries of the race this year will be the Skyway Marina District and local school projects as part of the Pinellas County Schools Fund a Classroom program.
