SUP & RUN 5K Sarasota, FL   Apr 30, 2022

The annual SUP & RUN 5K event will be held at Nathan Benderson Park to benefit Operation Second Chance (OSC) and RUCK9.

The SUP & RUN 5K gives athletes three great races in one to choose from.
– 5K RUN
– 5K Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) OR
– 5K SUP & 5K RUN
(There will be a start line mat (chip) for the combination SUP & RUN this year!)

Athletes participating in the combination SUP & RUN will run the 5K first and then hop on their paddle board for a 5K paddle around Nathan Benderson Park. The SUP & RUN 5K draws top runners and SUP’ers who compete for cash prizes but it’s our not-so-serious athletes who have the most prominent place in the event.

Why choose the SUP & RUN 5K?
– Every finisher receives a custom finisher medal.
– The race shirts are AMAZING!
– AWARDS GO 6 DEEP IN EACH 5 YEAR AGE GROUP!
– SWAG, to quote a participant, “this race SWAG is truly head and shoulders above most races”
– The food & post-race celebration party is FUN! FUN! (to be modified for COVID)
– Whoa! There is a beer garden, a SIP & RUM station and AMAZING VENDORS where you can buy really cool stuff AND… (well, also to be modified for COVID)
– The Athletes, Vendors, Sponsors, and Spectators: ALL CELEBRATING OUR VETERANS!

All Races Start at 8 AM sharp! If renting a paddleboard, please arrive by 7 AM to secure your board & paddle.
