Join us on our flat, fast and visually varied course, which showcases Florida's coastal living.You will run through exclusive residential and commercial areas in our beach communities, along smoothly paved Pinellas Trail, and through shaded public parks. Average weather in December: Low 52, High 72. This race is perfectly timed for runners training for Disney, Gasparilla, Miami, Ocala, Sarasota or for endurance athletes seeking a final race before the holidays. 
"I can usually come up with multiple suggestions for races that I have completed over the ten-year span that I have been racing, but it's difficult to find any faults with the Holiday Halfathon. The race organization is down to a near exact science. The website is totally comprehensive and constantly updated, the price is much more reasonable compared to other Florida half marathons, the packet and chip pickup procedures are stress free, the course is well marked and laid out and even has three Florida hills (bridges). The pasta and meatball breakfast was excellent and so was the entertainment. The beer wasn't a bad idea either!"

Our Clearwater Halfathon, scheduled for January 18, 2009, with its scenic course and ideal weather for running, is perfectly timed for a mid-winter escape. The four ascents over tall bridges throughout the course make this one of Florida's most scenic and most challenging half marathons.
