Heatwave Half Marathon - Tampa 2026

The Heatwave Half Marathon - Tampa takes place on a summer morning at Walsingham Park in Largo, near Tampa. The half marathon, relay, 10K, and 5K begin at 7:00 AM EDT. The schedule also features a 1 Mile run, a Kids Dash for children 10 and under, a Volunteer Then Run option, and a virtual race for those who wish to receive the shirt and medal remotely. The event is geared towards families, not exclusively serious runners. Children receive youth-sized shirts and miniature bibs, participants aged 12 and under benefit from reduced pricing, and shorter races are offered alongside the half marathon. All finishers receive standard race-day items. Chip timing provides live results and awards. Participant photos are complimentary. The finish line offers a practical Florida summer amenity: complimentary ice cream for runners to cool down.
