Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA

Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA is scheduled in Tampa, Florida for February 13, 2027, with all events starting at 7:30 a.m. The distances on offer are a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K and a 1-mile family fun run, open to athletes of every level. Chocolate stations, volunteer cheering and photo spots are placed along the course, and each in-person finisher receives a race shirt, a participant kit and a finisher medal. Virtual entries are available as well, with post-race treats for those on site.

February in Florida usually means friendly racing conditions, and this is a road event, so shoes and pacing plans stay simple. The half is a reasonable first attempt at the distance if you have been running four days a week through the winter; give yourself a 12-week build and one long run per week. Shorter options let you race hard and be back to normal training within days.
