For Runners
From seasoned runners to someone just jumping into the sport, the Mirror Lake 5k is for everyone! Pace Markers will help us make sure runners with the fastest anticipated times line up at the front of the pack, with walkers and runners with strollers or wagons at the back of the line. Our professional timers from Florida Road Race Management will take care of the timing so all you have to do is show up and give it all you’ve got.
When the run is done, treat yourself to a cup of coffee, maybe a donut, or fresh fruit at our 3rd Ave Block Party and be sure to say “HI!” to the amazing sponsors and community vendors who’ve made this event possible.

For Spectathletes
Cheering someone on or watching the kids during the race? We've got you covered! We will have various drink and food items onsite such as coffee, donuts, and fruit. You can also check out our KidsPoint area for crafts, face painting, games, and more. You’ll also want to make some time to stop by the booths of our event sponsors and other community organizations joining us for our 3rd Ave Block Party!
Family Lap
The Mirror Lake 5k Family Lap is a great opportunity to get the whole family together and moving! Families will begin behind the Mirror Lake sign across from 3rd Ave and complete one lap of Mirror Lake. Along the way, you’ll stop for a few activities and to collect some treats. We’ll have a photographer waiting at the finishline to make sure you all get that photo finish you’re looking for!

Course Map
This year, we are pulling out all the stops and expanding our course to give you a chance to run through some of the most beautiful views of Downtown St. Pete. You’ll start behind the iconic Mirror lake sign, weave your way down Central Ave, run along Tampa Bay, and get a glimpse of the historic Vinoy Hotel before turning around and heading back to the finish on Mirror Lake Drive. With all of the streets shutdown you’ll have all the space you need to chase down that new PR!
