About the Shamrock Distance Classic Halfathon, 10k & 5k

With a distance for every level of runner and walker, the Shamrock Distance Classic offers a fun, yet competitive race as we wind down our race season before the heat of Florida summers.

An early morning start, coinciding with a spectacular sunrise, gets you running while it’s still cool and breezy. Though you are never running on the sand, you can see Fort De Soto’s award-winning beach from various points along the course.

Depending on which distance you run, you’ll get to experience the natural beauty of the park – a gorgeous view of the Sunshine Skyway from East Beach, the remains of the historic fort which dates back to 1898, and a shady nature trail through Arrowhead Park.

IMPORTANT: The gate to Fort De Soto Park closes precisely at 7:00 a.m. This ensures that the race course is closed to traffic for your safety and protection. We do not want cars on the course when you are running or walking. A deputy will be stationed at the entrance and will not let you in; don’t be late! The gate will reopen at 9:00 a.m.
