This is a very important race put on by the Fire Department in Tampa. I run it every year and always come close to Placing and winning a bobblehead, but I never did it UNTIL TODAY!
3rd Place /27:34, and I was ecstatic to finally win a Fire Fighter Bobblehead. They are so cool. My wife’s Dad was a Fire Fighter, as is his son Chip currently, and I wanted to WIN one for him before he died, but I was too late. Well, I got one today, and he knows.
The event announcer said that today they had the biggest turnout for runners. I set a new PR, and next week, my wife and I travel to Nashville, TN, to run in the Rock N Roll Marathon event.
Today this race was so fun, and many of my friends were there.
The timing was spot on, and the course was well-marked, with Police Officers helping out throughout the course.
I did get a parking citation for being 2 minutes over, and the meter man said it was 2 minutes too long. That’s ok; I got a Bobblehead…….ya!
Great race event again - Humid & Hot

I did this event for the first time and was glad that I did. Great course which was flat & fast, plus it had great swag. Open roads that were wide. Runners could break out and not get trapped in.
Great cause especially.
